I can now tick of Caerlaverock Castle. Off my list of Historic Scotland sites, I’ve visited!

I can now half tick off Lockerbie railway station. I say off tick, since I did it way, way back sometime between 2001 and 2003. When I was travelling between Liverpool Lime Street and Glasgow Central, but had to change trains to due to a strike!
It’s first time, I’ve been back since then! This time, I had time to take photos!

On This Day : 08/09/2015
On This Day back in 2015. I had great fun walking up Ben Lomond, along with my mate Neil. The Ben has an elevation of 974 metres (3,196 ft).
At the time, it was my second time, I had climbed it! Since, then I’ve done it again! Which happened to be this year!
Here are some photos from that amazing day!

Lincoln Castle and Victorian Prison
While in Lincoln, it would rude not to go and have a look around both Lincoln Castle and the Victorian Prison!
I always love looking around a old prison! Always hope that someone, will lock me side of the prison cells! Just for a number of hours! Something, very HOT about that idea!
We also, of course had a walk around the Medieval Walls at Lincoln Castle.
Worksop railway station, double tick!
When, I went to Worksop railway station On Tuesday. I was sure, I had used the railway station before. When, I checked my list later on that day, it turned out. I had never used it before.
But has luck had it, my older bother, Douglas and myself had to use it again today. So go back to Lincoln. Since we wanted to visit the Castle.
So, this time around, I made sure I took more photos!
