Today we went to see Stirling Castle. This was considered the main strong hold of Scotland. It's like many castles its on an old volcano up on top of the hill. It's an impressive castle but the tour history was what I liked. The one hour tour included in the price of admission was great. I learned that men were the only people in the kitchen in old days. That kids would have to take a chicken or duck up on the roof and drop it down the chimney to clean it. That would have been a mess, wonder who had to catch it when it flew out the bottom.
After Stirling we went to the Glasgow museum it had a Dali painting of a fishing like village with Christ on across across the sky where normally there would be clouds. Very different but there was something about it that just popped off the canvas. The museum also had fossils, animals(taxidermied), and lots of other stuff. After the museum we did dinner and then on the way back to the car ran into the Kelvingrove bowling green. It was free and they would provide the balls. So we walked up and asked if we could play, the guy was great he got us all setup and showed us how to bowl. So first you toss down the Jack, which looks like a cue ball. Next you line it up strait on your lane based on where it landed. Now you take turns rolling the balls down, the balls are not round as you roll them they curve. The closest ball to the Jack wins the round.
One other picture. This was in the museum and it was the same head with every imaginable expression it was very different. Funny how you forget things but then looking back thru pictures you see it and it just as weird as the first time.
