Today we broke some Kit Kats - no-one cried. 

Cakes were cupped.

Whither shall we wander?

We've been working up a schedule of proposed history group trips over coming weeks.

Stirling Jail?

The question is, can we get cake in Stirling Jail and will it be made of Lego?

We will find out.

There are loads of places to visit on a Tuesday afternoon not far from our Perth HQ. We came up with a not-quite-exhaustive list of possibilities and this is it:

• Castle Campbell at Dollar
• Various places in Edinburgh including the botanic gardens, the National Portrait Gallery following its revamp, the Museum of Scotland, the Museum of Childhood and Mary King's Close
• A few places in Stirling, such as the jail, the castle and the Wallace Monument
• The Beatrix Potter exhibition at Birnam
• The Scottish Crannog Centre on Loch Tay
• Fortingall Yew
• Vane Farm nature reserve
• In St Andrews, there's the castle, botanic gardens, the abbey ruins, not to mention the secret bunker, if it's not so secret we can't find it
• The beach and castle at Broughty Ferry
• North Berwick and the Bass Rock
• Rosslyn Chapel
• Dunfermline Abbey ... and the renowned Pound Shop
• Falkland Palace
• Scone Palace
• The Black Watch Museum
• Discovery Point and jutery in Dundee
• Er, Havana.

Not sure about that last one - would we get there and back in two hours?

We might get nice pastelitos, though.

Welcome to our blog!

Join us on our voyage of discovery into history as seen from our very broad perspective! Based in Perth we'll be travelling as far as our bus passes will take us! Cake!
