Walking the streets with a... by Shar
Walking the streets with a great crowd of backpackers. There's a hop on hop bus around town for the lazy, though its a great walk. I suggest you jump ona train and head up to Sterling (about 40mins) to see the Willy (William) Wallace memorial. Its a big hike up the mountain path to get to it, then 150(approx.) tight circular steps to the top. There is a memorial room with, videos explainng his life for those of us who have never stomached Braveheart. They have his sword there too - which comes up to my neck (it was about 4ft6 and solid steel!). He must have been a strong bugger!!Nice and Sleazy bar. They have 4 litre jugs of beer during happy hour (?I think it was from 6-9pm). Its a small but cosy bar lined with locals and bartenders who adorned more peircings than I thought humanly possible.I was there with a great bunch of people and no one minded when we ran a muck (hey Sebastian, Elizabeth, Hughe, & Patty!!).
