We visited a few castles Janna and I had gone to a while back. Janna and I actually enjoyed hiking the woods around the castle more than going into the castle, so we took the folks on a bit of a hike. We got some amazing pics and it was great to be outdoors.
On the drive back I decided to go check out the Falkirk Wheel. No one else really knew what it was, but I was driving so they had to come along. It is an amazing engineering feat that was built a few years ago. I had actually read about it long before we even dreamed of moving to Scotland. It is basically a different way of creating a boat lock. It raises and lowers a boat about 75ft in one motion where as it used to require11 locks. It was really cool for this mechanical geek.
