Last night we caught some of the action of St Andrew's celebrations in George Square. There was a really good band with guys in kilt's playing bagpipes, fiddle and piano accordian. They were pretty good. Would have loved to stay longer but Louis was love sick and Connie's feet were freezing......
Had dinner tonight with Gerry and Joanne Ward, that's Jim's brother from Brisbane. Looked after us very well, once we eventually caught up with them.... In case you didn't know, there are two Balloch's in Glasgow and they are about 50 kms apart so make sure you get the right one!! We didn't, so drove an extra 50 minutes in thick fog. What an experience that was.
Must mention the drive from Fort William to Glasgow. What an incredible scenic drive. Highlight of the tour so far for me. Just amazing to see the snow all over the landscape. Pulled up to a roadside food caravan and saw our first deer. Also came across a mad scotsman playing the bagpipes at minus 2 degrees in his kilt!! Check him out on the photo's.
We are off to Edinburgh tomorrow so must get some shut eye. Sun goes down at 16:00 so it's a long night even when you go to bed at 21:00. Hope you enjoy the photo's. Stay tuned for more posts. Sorry about no captions, too tired to sort them all out....

Amazing ... amazing!! The photos are extremely clear bar a couple! To think that the photos are incredible, imagine how gorgeous it must be in real life! Still looks way too cold for me!
Nice shots, with the Nikon? I saw one reindeer, where's Santa?
