Scotland to Home


Last full day in Scotland started with departing Edinburgh and returning to Glasgow; about an hour ride on the train. Mostly sunny, the ride seemed pretty short. When we got to Adelaides we discovered that the power was out there, and several streets in the neighbourhood. Not a big deal, as we were off to get some lunch and for me to find a bag for my few souvenirs to safely travel home in. Had lunch at The Butterfly & the Pig. It was quiet (not sure if it was the timing, or perhaps people assumed the power outage extended that far?), and we enjoyed that along with some cider and more great food. My second meal with haggis, along with the tatties & neeps—it was a tasty meal that was far too big for me to finish!

Found a bag at the Visit Scotland office (so handy those places), enjoyed tea & empire biscuits at Bradfords, and ended the day with a tasty meal at Café Antipasti.

Up early the next morning, after very little sleep (thanks in part to a car/building alarm that seemed to go on for much, much too long). An uneventful ride on a full plane. Home again, home again…  with thoughts of Scotland still dancing in my head :)
