STIRLING TOUR 2009
Part One

Most small photos may be enlarged with a CLICK of the cursor.

John O'Hara planned and arranged a separate tour for August 4, which was originally a free day. Since our other options were hazy at best, Pat and I decided to join the group.

The tour consisted of a visit to Stirling Castle, a parade to the Bannockburn site, a climb up the Wallace Monument and a Dinner Cruise on Loch Lomond. The first two events will be covered in Part One (this section) and the final events may be accessed at the bottom of this page.

At the rear of the building in the next photo, John Damion lept off wearing wings of chicken feathers to fly to Paris. Advisers said that he should have used eagle feathers.
