Museum of Transport

Laurie did a great job of relating our adventure in the museum. There are now pictures. The museum is a very unusual collection of ship models, children's scooters, carriages, baby carriages, cars, trains, horse drawn carriages, etc. Quite a variety of brands from the past and present including Harley, Indian, and Bentley, VW, and Morris Cowley.

There was a fascinating model of bomb used in the Lockerbie incident that shows how it was probably done. It was made by a relative of a victim built inside a tape recorder. I have been to the Smithsonian and several other transportation museums including Chicago. I don't know what I was exactly expecting in this museum, but I was impressed. A very nice collection well presented.

After the museum we walked quite a ways to Battlefield Rest. I had a really good Calzone, we took a nice picture from Queens Park looking out over the city of Glasgow.
