After 2 connections in Chicago and London, we made it safely to Glasgow Scotland. Fifteen are staying in Castle Lachlan and 4 others are staying at a nearby bed and breakfast. After abit of confusion trying to get rental cars (we needed 3), we finally were able to get on the road to the castle.
Driving was a adventure in itself with having to drive on the left side of the road on roads that seem super tiny vs our roads. Plus we all got separated once and had to figure out how to regroup.
Once we got to the castle half of the group went out to eat and my group went for groceries. Most of the brands we’re used to in the US where no where to be found. For example we could not find pancake mix or syrup though they did have crep mix. They also had no clue what powdered drink mix was (like Crystal Light).
That was it though for day one in Scotland.
Today we toured the local lands on foot which included visiting the old castle ruins and graveyard.
Tomorrow is Dan and Bridget’s wedding and we’ll also go out to eat.
The majority of our sightseeing will be done Sun to
Tues where we will visit the area castles and museums. We’re mainly here for the wedding so everything else that we get to do is bonus.
