Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Hi Nephroin and welcome. Hi Nom we talk to everybody. Myrtle you've seen more of Scotland than I have, I might venture on a bus tour by myself. As for Glasgow I'm going there today to meet friends for a coffee and a chat.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Have a great day VJ ... I did the open top bus tour when I was in Glasgow ... the Transport Museum is fantastic

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

I hope we can reinvigorate the Scottish thread. I only head into Glasgow about once a month to meet up with a friend, but I try to vary my walking route from the station. Always discover something of interest. Yes, the "new" Transport Museum is very good ! Even after 32 years of being north of the border, I still struggle to understand broad Glaswegian ! Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are great places just to have a mooch around. I prefer the solitude of the hills myself, but hey, I've no wish to become a total hermit just yet !

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Hi Mike ... I enjoy walking in the countryside too ... as you know Macclesfield and the surrounding areas are great walking country ... the only good thing about hills is the view you get from the top

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Yes, the view from the top is "usually" worth the effort.
Going back down is pretty good too - as long as the knees have had a recent service !! In the past, a quiet mooch around the Cheshire plain (I used to live outside Chester) was just as enjoyable. A flask of coffee, some sandwiches, an emergency Mars Bar, a new set of batteries in the boots and the world is your oyster !!

Well i do ike Scotland both worked and played in it, Prefer Glasgow to Edinburgh and love the Isles and from Glencoe to Inverness.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

I love doing the open bus tour myself both in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Been really sunny here today and the sun is still shining.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Thank you Nom !!! I too thought Glasgow was better than Edinburgh but was too scared to say so

Glencoe is absolutely stunning ....

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Thank you for liking Glasgow my home town. I moved away down the coast but still go back there most days.

Hello again

Whilst I was in Monkton I was chatting to a Scottish coach driver and he said his wife's favourite holiday destination was Largs. I never been there ... it's on my "to do" list

VJ I read in the Wales thread that you have recently been to Bute for the weekend ... I loved it when I stayed in Rothsay . There is a thread on the forum about the asylum seekers who have been given homes on Bute but they are complaining about being in an isolated place ...

Dunoon is another lovely place ... so nice I've been twice ... I love the ferry trip across the Clyde ...
