Scotland for the weekend

A long weekend ahead did layPhoto of Scotland’s mountains in the frost and sun We’d got some vague plans for our time away But, as always, time did me beat I was still planning there in my train seat!

Once in Scotland, what did we do?Photo of a Giant Panda in Edinburgh Zoo Well, on the first day, we went to the zoo The Giant Pandas we did see Though, not for much longer, there they will be

On Saturday, the next full dayPhoto of Strathaven Miniature Railway We sped down to Glasgow, used their Subway Plus two miniature railway rides And saw plenty of other sights besides

On Sunday more trav’lling aboutPhoto of Burnton Viaduct We get so bored on days when we do nowt! Orchestral concert did attend A pleasant, relaxing way time we did spend

On Monday we went o’er to AyrPhoto of Ardrossan Beach in the sun The weather was most surprisingly fair A huge viaduct we did spy And later much sun, sea, sand and blue sky

Too soon our trip came to an endPhoto of Spey Court at dusk We needed our way back homeward to wend I def’nitely think it was worth The very long journeys to and from Perth
