Woke up in Edinburgh and then went to rent a car. After renting our little car and I mean little! We were on the opposite side of the road headed from Edinburgh to sterling. Mom sat in the back and I sat in the front giving dad directions because if mom had done it they would have for sure been divorced by the time we were out of the car rental parking lot.
We stopped in falkirk to see the falkirk wheel. It opened in 2000 for the new millennium celebration. It's a lot more of a touristy attraction now compared to when mom and dad were here 13 years ago. Lots more for families and people to do, etc.
After falkirk went on to Stirling, we were driving around a lot of residential areas when we came across several b&b's. So we stopped at one and checked in for a few nights.
Our b&b is super close to the William Wallace monument! You can see it from our window and we are less than a 5 minute drive from it aswell so after we checked in we went up to see it. Very very cool! We walked the 242 steps to see the view from the top aswell. Absolutely stunning view! The steps were very narrow and small. When people are passing you coming down you have to stop and basically hug the wall to let them by. It was for sure my favourite thing I have seen in Scotland so far!
After that we went to a pub of course. Lori was parched. Then we went out for supper and after that we went to a convienence store so Lori and robin could buy alcohol there. We then headed back to the b&b a little earlier than normal but only because we had stuff to drink there. And we sat in the living room planning a little more of our days out.
