A Trip to Scotland and the Western
Isles July 2000

Dochgarroch Lock, Caledonian Canal, Scotland
© Ole Jacobi July 2000
Sunday 16 July 2000
Our train for Glasgow leaves at one o'clock, so in the morning, we ride
out along the Caledonian Canal, almost to Loch Ness where it ends, but
not quite, there’s not time.
The train is fairly full in spite of the high cost (£59 for 2
persons Inverness to Glasgow), and this time there’s no trouble with the
bikes. A long, hot ride (the windows don’t open) and at the end, we’re
in the middle of Glasgow, a very big city seen with Danish eyes. Again,
we go to the Tourist Office to find accomodation, it’s simply too confusing
to find the right place on our own. A quick phone call, and we’re booked
into a Holiday Inn Express Hotel (a cheaper version of the Holiday Inn)
in the town centre close to the river. It’s a very nice hotel, and certainly
a good room with bath for the price (£59 for both with continental
breakfast, also good).
