After lunch it was off to see Stirling University, such a beautiful campus at the foot of Abbey Craig and then the Wallace Monument which is at the top of Abbey Craig.
But first, loving the chimneys!

Back to Scotland now.
After the garden tea party, we walked through beautiful, scenic neighbourhoods to Stirling’s Top of the Town and did a little window shopping. Our last and most anticipated stop: No. 2 Baker Street for my first taste of Guinness EXTRA Cold. There should be no other kind.
(The kid on the cell phone was so enthusiastically yelling, it made us laugh).
















From Glasgow, we took the afternoon train into Stirling. For a beautiful garden party!
A huge thanks goes out to A and his lovely parents for being so warm and welcoming and treating us to a delightful lunch and gathering in their beautiful backyard.
Champagne, strawberries and grand company, who could ask for more?
Stirling definitely was the highlight of our trip!















Can’t leave Glasgow without a couple from Glasgow Cathedral, the oldest building in Glasgow (13th century), with its Tomb of St. Kentigern or St. Mungo as he was known as.


Besides red, a touch of pink works just as well. As seen around Argyle St. and Sloans Market in Glasgow.


First stop was Glasgow, where I was for about a day, until we took the train to Stirling.
Scotland brings to mind, red, brown and grey. I even packed my red tartan scarf and trench for the occasion (I didn’t have to use my scarf because it wasn’t quite so cold) but I did see quite a bit of red, brown and grey.
Here, a few from our walk about town.




While I get my act together to upload Scotland and Paris photos, I thought I’d do a post on New Orleans, from summer ’08.



Just got back from Scotland and Paris but first, here are a couple from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
