Thurs 21st September 12° Pitlochry to Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies

Grey drizzly day dawned,  after a leisurely morning doing a washing load and dry for £4.80 we had eggs and tomatoes on toast for brunch. Pat and Les walked the dogs into town and we headed off to Falkirk and will meet them there.

At Perth we stopped for diesel  £1.21 we got £60 for 49ltrs no lpg here at BP with an M&S food shop attached.

Rolling green pastures with wee patches of blue sky appearing in the grey sky as the rain stops.

The glorious sunshine came out as we approached the Falkirk Wheel, under a 10'3" high bridge....we are 10' 2 1/2" ......so under very slowly.

Fabulous time on the boat trip on the Falkirk Wheel,  the world's only rotating boat lift which links the Forth and Clyde canal to the Union canal 115 feet above ,£11 for about 45 mins. made even better by the stunning sunning day.

We drive on to the Kelpies the world's largest equine sculptures at 30 metres tall and illuminated all night with different colours. Pat and Les arrived, we walked with Pat and the dogs to see them in the daylight, our free car park was a short 10min away. Then back to motorhomes to cook dinner then about 8.30pm followed the procession of visitors to see the illumination........magical...Sat and watched for ages with a wee dram to keep out the chill of the evening.
