Scotland Trip 20/06/13-23/06/13.

Well this is my efforts of my yearly venture to Scotland with Rob Hewison. We took the sleeper up Wednesday night and flew back on the Sunday. A good 4 days was had in which we managed to visit Holytown, Mossend, Coatbridge, Bo'ness Railway, Ayr Preservation Society at Waterside, Edinburgh Tram Depot, EG Steele, Falkland Yard and Kilmarnock. We got a lot of Grounded vans along the way aswell and managed a lot of freight workings inc a couple of Railtours. Highlights was getting to Coatbridge on Friday at 0450 to see the Sinfin tanks return with 47739! A good mixture to browse so enjoy.
