| After experiencing Langholm Common Riding Carlo and Sidne started a whirlwind tour of the South of Scotland and Northumberland. First stop on Saturday morning was The Kelpies at Falkirk. |
 |
| After an initial shower of rain the weather improved and the blue skies appeared. The tour was interesting but the guide talks a lot of claptrap just to please the foreign tourists. It really is not worth paying the money for the tour as they can be appreciated without all the claptrap that goes with it. The young girl giving the talk was nice but totally out of her depth. |

| From the Kelpies we headed to the Falkirk Wheel. By now the weather was improving and we took the 1 hour trip on the slowest boat in Scotland. It is spectacular but how they draw out the trip. |
