Last Monday, I met up with Matt (aka Shadow) and Martin (aka Arcie) from The Will of the Ancients (my Panzer Dragoon website) in Glasgow. It was great finally meeting them in person, having known each other online for around five to eight years.
We had only been in Glasgow for under an hour, when some drunken scots attempted to mug us. A feeble attempt looking back on it now, but it wasn’t the best introduction to Scotland to say the least. Apart from these unsavory characters, the visit to Scotland has been a great experience so far. The locals are very friendly, in fact it’s not uncommon for someone to come up to you in the street if they see you looking at a map and point you in the right direction. If only the weather was as friendly…
I spent several days in Glasgow, the first day I went to Bothwell Castle with Martin and Matt. Over the next few days I visited some museums and art gallerys in Glasgow, then headed over to Stirling to experience all the historical attractions relating to William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Stirling is really nice place, just the right size, a mixture of city and scenary. I could see myself living there if the work was available.
Right now I’m in Edinburgh will only 13 minutes left at the Internet cafe, so you’ll have to wait until next time so see all of the Glasgow and Stirling photos. I’ve added a few pictures of Matt, Martin, and I in Glasgow; you’ll need to add me as a contact in Flickr to view these however.

I hope you don’t mind, but I stole some of your photos for Facebook. IT was a truly awesome couple of days though. Let me know when you are back down here.
No worries, pinch as many as you want.
And yeah, it was a great few days. No idea when I’ll be down your way next, it all depends how long it takes to find a crow with a driving license.
