Another Free Tour?

Well a couple days ago we decided to keep on going with the vibe and went on another free tour. EXCEPT! It was an all day bus tour of the highlands in Scotland, so yes you could cheese it and say "But its a free tour ", but I mean it costs them about 20 pounds for each person, so I mean it would just be rude, you would be that guy/gal. 

But back on point.

We had to be there by 8:30ish so we woke up at 6:30ish and got on the bus by 7:30ish, are bus is a 40 minute commute to downtown, but then we had to walk a bit. So we arrived only a couple minutes early. So this is where it starts... (creepy Hallow'ene music going on).

We wanted to sit in the front seats but this rich Indian guy with his man servant insisted to sit there, so we are all like "ok fine" but then, this is where things start to become salty (salty- to be angry, infuriated, or annoyed). The servant draws the blind then goes to sleep, ummm... excuse me, you came on a tour to see the highlands and you fall asleep, but the worst part is THAT THEY TOOK THE FRONT SEAT!!!!! Oh and for the cherry on the cake the other guy starts talking on his phone, and every time we stopped for him the tour guide to show us something the rich guy would put his seat back, I mean by the first time it was rude, after that I wanted to punch him in the face, I don't care if you're rich, poor, black, white, or even purple, you have no right over anyone!

Ok, now that we're through that lets start talking about the tour.

Our first stop was at the bridges that lead to the highlands, he talked about how one of the bridges is staring to fall down because it was made to last only 50 years and it is now 53 years old (don't quote me on that). After that we stopped at a memorial of William Wallace that was made in the 18 hundreds. It was placed on the hill where he was said to plan his attack on Stirling Castle. For inside the castle he was outnumbered by 20 to 3, think about that, for every three soldiers he had the was 20 for the other guy, also the other guy had better trained soldiers that little William had. So you may ask "How did he win?" for he had indeed won, well let me tell you. There was a bridge that only allowed 5 fully aromoured soldiers on horseback to pass at the same time, so William tonted them to come out and fight he did this largely by raising is kilt and shouting insults at them. So then the 10 000 soldiers came rushing at them so the Scottish backed up just past the bridge pulled out there long spears and slaughtered all of them.

Then he told us the story of William Wallace and some good jokes (I won't tell you the story because it took about an hour to explain properly so if you want to know ask google).

We then proceeded to the most sacred castle ever... THE CASTLE THAT WAS FILMED IN MONTY PYTHON "SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL! (This is the clip from the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8yjNbcKkNY)) " It was very cool because it looked exactly hoe it did in the movie.

He then out on some music and we looked out the window. The stop I remember next was of thisbeautiful lake that reflected the sky.

After that we stopped for lunch, he suggested a deli that made AMAZING pies and burgers. They were so good that I had 1 burger and 1.5 good things.



We then stopped at what I think is the guides favourite stop, the Hairy Cows, or as he called it, the Hairy Coos, Hairy Coos is what the company is called after, so it only seems sensible that it is his favourite. It was cool because we were able to feed them bread which you know, who would have thought that cows would like bread?


After that we headed back home, and along the way he told us great stories and good jokes. All in all it was really incredible.  If you are ever in Edinburgh you should go on the day trip with the Hairy Coo company.
