The last day inScotland

The Great hall in Stirling Castle was huge and Ella found a spot she liked.







Flat Ella is sitting in the Queen's chair in the great hall pretending she is attending a huge banquet. She is imagining herself ruling over all the guests as they eat, drink and dance.









Flat Ella is getting homesick for school so she found this elementary school in Linlithgow. What a great spot to go to school











To finish the day Flat Ella took a boat ride on the Union Canal which runs from Glasgow to Edinburgh. She rode for 2 and a half hours along the peaceful canal and traveled over a long aqueduct that was 80 feet in the air.


She was so tired from the days events that she went home and took a nap.








I had to include this picture of the canal. The bridges shown here are from the 1800s when the canal was built. The entire canal was built with pick and shovel in 4 years!





Well that's all from Scotland. 14 days, 1200 miles on the "correct" side of the road, 14 Castles, 6 churches, 8 boat rides, one steam train ride and numerous pints of ale. I need some Rest....off to London town!
