Arrived in Glasgow on Sunday evening and checked into our hotel in the West End. Grabbed a bite at a pub in a former church near the hotel. Not too late of a night as we were all pretty tired from the day of traveling. Spent the next day touring around the area walking through the Glasgow University campus and Kelvingrove Park to arrive at the Kelvingrove Museuem and Art Gallery, which had a number of paintings and other historic exhibits. The next day we met up with a couple from my Madagascar trip that live in Glasgow. Had a nice dinner and heard about the advancing Storm Ali that was scheduled to hit the next day and which had prompted an amber alert. Despite the storm warning we headed off to Stirling this morning to visit their castle. The wind was definitely picking up once we got to the castle. There was periodic bouts of rain as well. At the start of the tour they told us certain parts of the castle grounds (mainly along the ramparts and edges) were closed due to the high winds. Then part way through the tour they announced the castle was closed to new visitors but that were could finish touring around. A few minutes later though they announced that we all needed to leave the castle as the weather was getting too dangerous. So there ended our visit to Stirling Castle. Fortunately, we had been there for a bit and got to see most of it! Back for our last dinner in Glasgow where we went back to a place in Ashton Lane, which appeared to be housed in a former theater. On to Fort William tomorrow to start the walk along the Great Glen Way! Hopefully, the weather will have subsided.
