We began our trip to Scotland on the 27th of December, having packed our "people carrier" to the brim with warm clothes, games, books, movies and plenty of food. After settling into our cottage near Kinross, we began sight-seeing.
Our first stop was the William Wallace monument in Stirling where we reviewed the history of the infamous Battle of Stirling Bridge (Wallace led the Scots to victory over the English). Another highlight of the tower is the Hall of Famous Scots - two of which we recognized: James Watt (inventor of the steam engine) and John Knox (religious reformer). We enjoyed the tower - all 246 steps to the top (Matt & Amy counted) - and the views were well worth it, though it was quite chilly!
