Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th July 2025.
Heading South on the Let’s go North tour.
The past 2 days have been travelling days, Monday night we stayed at a rather bizarre Aire next to the railway station for £10 a night, we were able to watch the hourly intercity trains pull in and during the evening a night sleeper stopped. Sadly shops in Kingussie are shut on a Monday, including the fish and chip shop, only one cafe and a small Co op store were open
Today we motored on south stopping for a break and leg stretch at Pitlochry, the town was busy and thriving and the shops were open!
Tonight we are on the outskirts of Stirling in a dedicated motor home parking area at the the cost of £4.40 for 24 hours.A short walk along the road takes yoo to a pedestrian bridge over the railway line and into Stirling.
Sadly it rained pretty heavily whilst we were walking around, but as it only the second time on the trip we shouldn’t grumble.
Michelle was determined to see Stirling Castle, why are all castles on hills? and it was hill after hill after hill, until eventually I felt quite “ill” and only just made it to the gate, where surprise surprise we were greeted by a man saying “you can’t bring dogs in here.”
I spent 45 minutes sheltering in the archway above on a stone bench with Layla huddled up to me whilst Michelle went into the Castle. We did have people queuing up to fuss Layla including American tourists, she is very patient.
When Michelle returned I asked her if she had lots of photos for me for the blog, sadly she informed me she found her battery had run out so no photos.
