Day 9: Tak Ma Doon!

That's right, Take Me Down (Tak Ma Doon) to Glasgow. But first, I must climb. 

Leaving Stirling, and viewing the orange traffic coning of Rob Roy, I took a most meandering route south towards Tak Ma Doon Road. A lot of climbing even before formally hitting the intersection.

But then, a famous climb up to the summit.

And what a view.

I also stopped by Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge. My recent readings of Shuggie Bain, a novel by Douglas Stuart. Definitely a worthwhile visit and an important connection to Scotland's historic past.
