Now thats a Monument! William Wallace monument near Stirling, Scotland.
The hill was proving too much for poor Bingy.

FREEEEEEEEEDOM!!

Massage Therapy used to be a sometimes lethal therapy. I bet this therapist liked to use an olive oil rub with a dash of salt.

Check out the view!


The view on top of the Wallace Monument is too cool for school. Too bad this attractive couple are blocking it.

Oh wait, there's the view.



This is atop the monument.

"Nice Shirt!"
"Yeah, nice face!"
"Yeah................
.................................."

"I'll TW*T you, you wee git"
"Eat the toilet jerkstore"
This is our view falling off the tower.

William Wallace's sword is taller than Laura

The monument from afar
These are some lovely tapestries in Stirling Castle. The unicorn is supposed to represent someone famous. I'll give you a hint......... his name rhymes with Jebus.






These are the Mascots of Stirling Castle Leo and Uni, you can get hugs and your picture taken with the actors in the plush suits at the castle gate. Awesome!

Me and my medieval friend here are reprimanding this little medieval Ralph Wiggum freak.
After Denny and myself travelled back in time in our phonebooth Denny got a job in the kitchen.................................................
..........and made a friend.

Me thinks me sees a medieval babe.
Time to raid the armoury.


There is a great little Italian place in Edinburgh called "Bar Napoli" with genuine Italians working there and everything. Pretty impressive desserts too.

Candice and Denny's Visit

This is Denny and Candice's first day in the country. I am a dick and dragged their jetlagged butts to Keswick in the lake district. This nice little pic doesn't fully demonstrate how stupidly tired they are.
This could be a stock photo. Keyword search: "Happy Couple"



Fast forward 3 days now. EDINBURGH!!

This is a picture of 1 light haired person and 3 dark haired people about to eat food at a mussel restaurant.
Our bellies are swollen with shellfish.
Mussels=Muscles
This Lion is a Mo
We don't play any other way

The architecture in Edinburgh is just too cool, and better yet we got to appreciate it in the sunlight in 25 degree heat. (Note to those who have not been: These kind of weather conditions in Edinburgh are freakish and rare.)







It was almost Utopian. Edinburgh is the best, put it on the list.


Ingleton Falls

We thought there were lots of waterfalls in Hawaii, who knew there were tonnes of beautiful waterfalls just an hour from Preston!! And some SUN!!!!



Ingleton Falls, about 8Km hike through woods, and countryside and ended up in the town for a Pint of Shandy at the pub.

This log had coins pounded into it, pretty expensive log.
I don't really know what's going on here...


I thought these looked like mushrooms, Grant thought they looked like something else...
Waterfall FRENZY!



England does look pretty nice when the sun shines...
Cute little town
