I may have mentioned earlier that George has a huge haematoma on his other leg (thank God he only has 2 legs) caused by sitting on the bed to put on his shoes while we were in Edinburgh 10 days ago. What he didn't count on was sitting on the small bedpost at the end of the bed! He has had a huge bruise which still seems to be getting worse, not better. He should have had it looked at earlier but expected it would get better each day. Anyway, because we are flying to London/Nice on Monday it seemed sensible to have it looked at in case he shouldn't fly so we back-tracked to Perth hospital this morning. Was only 17 miles so no real drama. Saw a doctor almost immediately, was given the all clear and no expenses involved - all on the National Health. By lunchtime we had driven back through Crief to Comrie, where G's ancestors originated. Enid's mother was a Comrie. Had a very tasty pie from the local bakery and proceeded on to Braco, a smaller town where G's great grandfather is buried.
Drove through lots of small towns and stopped to look at the beautiful Cathedral in Dunblane. Dunblane is where Andy Murray (tennis) lived as a child and was involved in the terrible massacre of primary school children in 1996. On then to Gleneagles, took a quick drive up to the hotel and past the famous clubhouse. The wind was blowing at gale force but there were still golfers out there!!!
Arrived in Stirling at around 5pm and stopped at a McDonalds to check our internet & find a hotel for the night. Now staying at the King Robert Hotel and will move on to Glasgow tomorrow. We have done Scotland - two weeks in this weather is really enough. Scotland is a small place and we are never far from the last place we visited!
