Day 4 Thursday

We got organized to go to the airport and pick up the van, left the apartment only to find the tram had a problem. There had been an accident and we needed to take a bus from a few blocks away to a stop a few blocks from a tram station the other side of the accident. We picked up the van and drove to Culross. It’s a town restored to the 1700s and used in movies. It was interesting. After lunch we drove to Falkirk and the kelpies. They are gigantic horse head sculptures somewhat based on a local legend. It opened in 2014 and we were impressed and liked them.It was We then went to theFalkirk water wheel. It is from 2004 and is a water elevator for barges. It is the only one in the world. What used to take a half a day to lift the barges 80 feet with the locks now takes 5 minutes. We spent the night in Stirling.
