Jousting - Linlithgow Palace


I enjoyed another day through at Linlithgow Palace when the jousting was taking place.

The very warm sunny weather helped make it an even more enjoyable day - even though it was perhaps a bit too hot at times.

As always we were very well entertained and everyone was very friendly.

A day out to be recommended.

Bo'ness Station


As I was headed to Linlithgow Palace it was too good an opportunity not to pop in to Bo'ness Station to see the first steam train of the day depart.

I always enjoy my visits here - and though this was a short one - it was still very enjoyable.
