The Upside Down adults out and about.

Wednesday, lovely mild day, and we were heading to The Mercat Bar to meet the Upside Down Adults, Roz and Rick - from Oz.
Fed, watered and off we set, out the City, onto the M9 and headed for Gleneagles Hotel, via Stirling and Dunblane.
The roads were fairly quiet so we made good time and rolled through the gates to this Five Star Hotel just before noon. Pity the weather was a bit overcast as the Hotel is normally good for photographs.

There was a very large marquee erected at the front of the hotel with a full ice rink inside all set for the forthcoming holiday festivities.












Had a wander through the hotel, coffees, and stopped off to see the Clubhouse at Kings Course before heading southwards through Glen Devon.

Next stop was the Scottish Motor Racing Centre at Knockhill, no activity there today as work was being done on the track.

Onwards through Dumfermline, Rosyth, and into North Queensferry before crossing the Forth Road Bridge and into South Queensferry where we had another "drinkie" in the Hawes Inn (referred to in Robert Louis Stevenson's books).

Eventually back to the City, but that is another story - for another day.
