Stirling and Scone


The sun did not come out until we were leaving Loch Lomond on our way to the 3rd site at Scone. We stopped briefly at Stirling Castle, as the route took us past the town. The entrance fee for the castle complex was £13.50 and we could not justify the cost for a passing visit. So we moved quickly on to Perth via the M9 and arrived early at about 2:30. The Scone CCC site is beside the race course on the Scone Palace estate just outside Perth and walking distance to the River Tay.

I set off to walk the 1500 metres to the river and unknown to me Rosemary followed a little later. However she went past the gate down to the river bank and carried on walking to the fishing lodges. I think she probably walked twice as far as me, as we did not meet and I was back ages before her. At least I had the kettle on when she re-appeared exhausted.

It was a lovely afternoon and the very friendly warden put us on the sunniest pitch on the site. We had full sun until sunset.
