Bridges, Castles, Ostriches, but no ordinary Rabbit!

July 21, 2012

Day 11: We started the morning in Stirling, at the site of the 1297 Battle of Stirling Bridge. We then moved up the hill to Stirling Castle, a seat of the Scottish monarchy for centuries. We then went to a Safari park (yes, a safari park) before taking a side trip to Doune Castle, where Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed. We ended the day back in Oban with a dinner of Mussels, Lamb, and Hare.

I blow my nose at you, you silly english kniggits! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
