We arrived at 5:30am :tired: at were at Widget's sister's house by 6:30am. I had a nap from 7:30 - 11:30am and then we were off to walk around Glasgow for a few hours.

We had lunch at a nice restaurant near St. George's Square and then took the train back to where we were staying.

I am feeling pretty good this morning, as I did the whole time away. No signs of jetlag so far :crossed: Definitely a long way to go for just a couple of days but we had a lot of fun.

[JamesBannon]

Heh, nice pix. I looked at them & kept saying to myself "I've been there!". Glad you enjoyed the weekend.

[Legs]

Hi James, we passed through Paisley a few times and I thought of you. Widget used to spend many a night at the Watermill Hotel. :nod:

Thanks for having decent weather for us.

[JamesBannon]

You're welcome! I'm glad it turned out reasonable.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

:cheer: for piccies!

I've flown over Scotland once on the way to Germany. I should drop in next time.

:chin:

Lemme rephrase that...

[JamesBannon]

You'd be welcome if you did come, Uthgar! I wonder, however, if the "natives" would survive the onslaught! :giggle:

[JoeP]

I don't think I've ever been to Glasgow. Edinburgh lots of times; Inverness, Aviemore, Ardnamurchan, Tobermory, ... But not Glasgow.

Thanx for pix!

[Uthgar the Brazen]

HEY YOU! OVER BY THE SHOP! SAY SOMETHING STAR TREKKY! DO IT! DO IT!

[Legs]

I don't think I've ever been to Glasgow. Edinburgh lots of times; Inverness, Aviemore, Ardnamurchan, Tobermory, ... But not Glasgow.

Thanx for pix!

I :hearts: Edinburgh & Inverness,

Glasgow I could live without :meh: (sorry James!)

Don't sweat it, Legs! I'm not too fond of Glasgow either! Or Paisley for that matter. Inverness isn't a particularly "pretty" town, though. Perth is quite nice, especially down by the River Tay., and so is Dunkeld.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

...and so is Dunkeld.

Is that the place where donuts come from?

[Ymir's blood]

So um, were there any graveyards in Glasgow? :chin:

[Legs]

:laugh: one of the parties I attended was like one.

[JamesBannon]

So um, were there any graveyards in Glasgow? :chin:

Tons. Old Victorian style with crypts and everything. You'd love them! :)

[JamesBannon]

...and so is Dunkeld.

You know Uthgar, I've absolutely no idea about that one.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Be more 'muhrkin! (https://www.dunkindonuts.com/)

[Legs]

If they had originated in Scotland they would be called Duncan Donuts.

Sorreh! I missed this thread at first. Great pictures, especially the Gainsborough chicken. :wriggle:
