The Kelpies...

The next morning, Jimmy had a blast behind the wheel as we drove through Galloway Forest Park with its amazing scenery. When we arrived in Stirling, we went to the train station to drop off the girls so they could visit their Scottish friends. Ashlynn boarded a train to Aberdeen to spend two nights with Naomi, and Veronica took a train to Falkirk to meet up with Lois, who she met at Outward Bound.

In addition to having dinner at Lois’ house, Veronica got to see Falkirk’s famous sites. These two 100-foot tall steel horses are called The Kelpies; the mythological creatures have the strength of ten horses. Scotland’s largest public artwork opened to the public in April 2014.
