We went to
Falkirk on our sixth full day, the Friday before the Worlds.
My mother, my aunt, and two of the band wives (Donna and
Carla) took the trip up to the small town. I didn't
really know much about the town, only that there was a
Battle of Falkirk, where Wallace was captured. Donna,
one of the people I was with, had a list of stuff she wanted
to do. Unfortunately, we ran out of time. We
only got to see the Wheel and the outside of Callendar
House. I was so intrigued, however, that I came back
the following Sunday, hangover and all, with two of the
drummers. We explored the Roman ruins and other
pub-related areas. I also got to try deep-fried
haggis in Falkirk. I have to say, it was quite
enjoyable! |
