Baby T had an extraordinary opportunity earlier this year to travel with Tracey Tilton and her husband to Scotland!
Baby T takes in the Scottish country-side.
I think Baby T spots some sheep in the hills…uh oh!
Here’s what you’re seeing in the photos:
These are taken on the grounds of Stirling Castle, located in Stirling Old Town, Scotland. In the distance you can see a tower on top of a hill. This is the Wallace Monument situated on top of Abbey Craig. It was on this hilltop that William Wallace first spotted the English Army approaching Stirling Bridge. The tower overlooks some of the most important battlefields of Scotland’s past including Stirling Bridge, the site of William Wallace’s victory over the English in 1297, and Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce defeated the same foe in the summer of 1314. The monument is 220 feet high, 54 square feet at its base, with the tower 36 square feet. The walls are 16-18 feet at their thickest, tapering to 5 feet thick at their thinnest. It is estimated that over 30,000 tons of stone was used in the construction of the monument.
Baby T not only took in the sights, but also got a history lesson as well!
Where will Baby T be off to next? Who knows? Perhaps he’ll be traveling with you!
Thanks, Tracey, for the pictures and info, as well as for taking such good care of Baby T to return him in good shape!
ITS:Always fun, never boring
