The museum there about the weaving industry is of particular interest to both my husband and me - we both have ancestors who worked in the mills in Lanark, his in particular worked as a young girl. No wonder when she had a chance to emigrate she and her family came to the US!

We had not put Stirling Castle on our list, but I will. I have done needlepoint canvases that were poor imitations of the Hunt of the Unicorn so it would be great to see the real tapestries!

We are used to traveling with a loose schedule so as we find things we want to see we can change our route.
