Travelog for: Creamsheep

Today, we have come to Glasgow.

And inside to a science centre overlooking the River Clyde.

Look, there are three different sized squares around a right-angled triangle. There's liquid in those two squares...

And that amount fits into the big square..

This exhibit has different metals for two electrodes. This combination looks great.

This combination is good but not as great as the previous go.

But this is not very good at all.

A plasma ball.

A knot!

Panels made from different recycled plastics - wellies, mobile phone covers, bottles, yogurt pots, plastic bags...

This is an exhibit about the first heart transplant.

The heart is being delivered.

Surgeons operate..

And all became well.

What time is it?

Where did the time go?

Pretty pattern.

Finished pattern

How many shades of red are there in this Munker Illusion?

A giant kaleidoscope

Doors!

Tricks and mirrors.

The illusions gallery.

Time to go..

BBC Scotland.

We were inside that.

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

Hi Mum,
Ooops...

I think we wanted to catch that ferry.

So we caught the next one.

We didn't come on the ferry in a car.

I think we are going over there.

There's a lighthouse, I think it is on the mainland.

I think we are nearly there.

We have arrived on the Isle of Bute

This is Rothesay castle.

It has a moat.

This might be the great hall.

Was this castle built in the time of those two King James...

Rothesay, and the mainland in the distance.

The castle walls have had some damage over the years, probably from battles between the Scottish and the Norse. Norwegians held this island for centuries.

The tower was built to improve defences and provide accomodation for the high steward...

The Norwegian flag is on the right.


A couple of views on the outside of the castle.

This is the prison, in a pit below.

I came down that ladder.

That's the ladder to go down to the prison.

This is the ferry ticket. Waiting to sail back to the mainland.

It is getting dark too!

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

Ooo, another boat

We are going to sail soon.

There's a lifeboat, but I hope we don't need it.

This trip, we came over with the car. It is wet and miserable out there. Autumn has arrived.

We are driving around the island. This is Arran.

There is sunshine, but those clouds spell rain.

I think that island is uninhabited.

It has a lighthouse.

This is a whisky distillery. It is quite a new one.

Water draining from the hills.

More rain.

There's the ferry. We'll catch the next one.

This is Brodick harbour

We have a boarding card.

It is getting dark out there as we sail back.

Let's get back into the warm...

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

Today, we visited another castle.

First, we looked at a model of what the hillfort or dun probably looked like in 500AD

This is a model of the second castle built in the 13th century but was possibly destroyed by Robert Bruce

And this is the third castle on the site.

We went for a look around, but the weather was a bit wet.

The staff were preparing for a Halloween do later that day.

The interior might have looked like this.

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

We have come back into Glasgow

This time, to a transport museum. This is an old police car.

Various bicycles.

Glasgow has an underground.

An underground train.

A pub!

Skateboard!

Wall of cars and a ring of bicycles.

A Cunard ship on the left, and a tram on the right.

A Royal Mail van.

On a tram.

On a tube.

A steamer called Comet.

The ring of bicycles again.

A motorbike.

It is quite a big museum.

We came in at that entrance down there.

A Daihatsu van decorated for the 1997 Salaam festival

A couple of engines.

Highland Railway 103! Glen Douglas loco.

Model engines

A motorbike, for some reason, is on its side.

Rather old vehicles.

The museum lies on the river Clyde, the buidling across the water is where we were on Sunday, the science place.

This is the view down river.

The ring of bicycles yet again, in the distance.

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

Final full day in Scotland...

We are on another boat!

This time, we are leaving Largs.

Bye bye Largs

It is only a small ferry.

I think we are nearly there...

Do you see that painted face on the rock?


That is Millport, the only town on the Isle of Cumbrae

A memorial.

A view from the high point on Cumbrae.

A crocodile!

Arrived back at the caravan after a good day out.

We said farewell to the home we had for the last week, and have been making our way home.

We stopped off at this castle on the shores of Loch Doon.

It is a nice day to travel.

On the way back, we stopped off in the Lake District.

There is snow!

We are quite high up here.

Brr!
