Today, I didn't have any classes, so I got up early anyways and did the Wallace monument! I went with two other girls I met in my classes-Jen and Clare. We decided to walk there from campus. When we got to the monument, we had a 10 minute hike up the craig, which is called Abbey Craig, and then a grand total of 246 steps up a spiral staircase to get to the top. There, we got amazing pictures, which I will post tomorrow. Then, we had to do the same journey to get back! So, I'm pretty tired.This afternoon, I had high tea at the King Robert Hotel in Bannockburn, which is nearby the place where the Battle of Bannockburn took place in 1314. In that battle, Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, led the Scottish forces against the larger forces of King Edward II of England and won their independence. If you don't know what I'm talking about-look it up or go watch Braveheart. Anyway, tomorrow, we are going to St. Andrew's, so that should be interesting!
