An early
start today as we had to get to Heathrow Airport. Had breakfast at 6:30 then
headed off to the bus station to catch a bus to Kings Cross Station to board
the train to Heathrow. The trains were jam-packed but we managed to get a seat.
We arrived at Heathrow at 9:00 and had to check in at one of the Kiosks only to
find we were to be sitting 2 rows apart! We got it sorted but then had to pay
for excess weight on David’s bag – highway robbery 65 pounds for an excess 4
kg. Finally got through security & to the gate and before we knew it we
were on our way to Edinburgh. We arrived at 1:05, collected our bags which had
luckily arrived (some IT problem & they couldn’t guarantee the bags would
arrive) then off to Hertz to get the car.

Safely
on our way we headed to Falkirk to see the Falkirk Wheel – a gravity driven
Lock on the Forth & Clyde Canals. An absolutely amazing structure.
We
continued on past Glasgow to Dumbarton where we had seen a Premier Inn and
luckily got a room. We had a lovely dinner at Brewers Fayre Restaurant before
returning to the room for the night.
