Today we decided to make it a museum day. The weather was not rainy but was overcast when we started out. We went to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. They had a special exhibit of Linda McCartney’s (Paul’s dead wife) photographs. It was fantastic. She was very talented. Then we toured the museum. Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum opened in 1901 and has stunning architecture and a great atmosphere. There are 22 galleries ranging from art to animals...

Today we decided to take the 2 hour Hop on hop off bus tour to get acquainted with Glasgow. We walked to the stop closest to us and hopped on. It was a beautiful sunny day.

Oban really is just a stopping off poin...

We woke up to a miserable day - grey and cool with a forecast of a lot of rain. We decided not to go to the islands. But we did go to the tour operator to find out our options. It was a good thing we hadn’t set our sights on going as all the tors were cancelled due to the weather. The lady suggested we come back tomorrow morning after seeing what the weather was like in the morning so we decided to do that instead of booking it then and there. We walked along ...
