Title: UK Trip Part 2: Strathaven, Glasgow, and Dunblane

Summary of Episode

In this episode, we continue our trip in Scotland. We travel to Strathaven to stay, then to Glasgow, and take an overnight trip to Dunblane.

While in Strathaven, we experienced the Balloon Festival, visited local pubs, toured a fully automated farm, and spent time with family and friends. We were also able to head down and see New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

Glasgow was very cool! We rode the hop-on hop-off bus, the Kelvingrove, and the Pot Still.

Dunblane was a charming surprise! We loved visiting the cathedral, the Leighton Library, the Dunblane Museum, and Doune Castle!
