More Aussies in Irvine

Zaidee and Hayden came to visit us in Scotland for the weekend, coming all the way from London. On Saturday we took them to see the sights of Glasgow. The city has a hop on, hop off bus service with commentary so we endured the freezy winds (just) for the full tour. We got a taste of the cities major highlights including the big football (soccer) stadium, Merchant City area (see picture below) and the West End (where coffee was needed to defrost).
No we're not back in Australia at the Opera House but at the Glasgow Exhibition Centre or as the locals call it "The Armadillo" (for obvious reasons).Sunday was beautiful weather-wise so we went out for brunch and took plenty of photos of Arran Island to make the most of it and record the unusual sighting of that ball of fire in the sky that's rarely seen in bonny Scotland.
