After an amazing time spent in Nairn, it was time to say goodbye to family and to drive to my hometown of Doune. Of course, in true Scottish fashion it absolutely poured when we visited. So much so that I wasn't able to take many photos. This normally would have bothered me but I was just so happy to see my hometown and to explore it with Lai that I forgot all about my camera. After visiting Doune, we stayed the night in Dunblane near the cathedral. It's funny but I swear I almost didn't need the GPS to get between the two towns. I still remembered the way from my childhood.
The next day we drove to Stirling, a medium-sized city in the heart of Scotland. We planned enough time to walk the city, exploring the jail, the castle, and the city streets. I was amazed at the architecture and ambiance of the city. I would have no problem living in such a beautiful city (though the rain might get to me).
