I’m coming to the end of my trip in Scotland. So far all has gone to plan, however there have been times when I thought that it was all up in the air. With a bit of luck and good fortune I stayed in front of Storm Floris which nearly derailed my last week here.

Some of the best roads in the world are on the west coast of Scotland and my wee Peugeot navigated it well and it travelled down the road as it it was on rails. It took a few days to get used to the six speed manual but it soon became second nature.

The screen interface controls everything which is not good. Trying to adjust the air conditioning is just so dangerous when moving, however Google Assistant worked fairly well and got a bit cheeky at times.

The tour of Glasgow Central was definitely a highlight. Great way to spend an hour and a half and well worth the £15 ticket price.

Strolling through different parts of the city, looking at the architecture makes me very proud to be a Glaswegian. I hate it when folk criticise Glasgow when they really haven’t taken a proper look. It is a city full of gems that are sometimes not so obvious to the casual visitor, you have to make a wee bit of an effort to see the true wealth of what it has to offer.

I returned the hire car hire today and they gave me a £51 refund which was just marvelous.

One more day to go here in Scotland and then I’ll catch the train on Monday morning down to Chippenham where I’ll stay for a couple of days before flying out on the 14th, and hopefully back in the hoose on Friday morning. Not sure at this stage if I’ll get an Uber or the train. I’ll see how I feel when I get back.
