Farewell Orkney, Hello Glasgow!

We waved farewell to Orkney on a warm, sunny morning, and got the ferry back to Scrabster. We then went to see John O'Groats, which was just as tacky and horrible as you would expect - a complete contrast to Dunnet Head.
We headed back to Stirling, and then spent a couple of lovely days around Stirling and Glasgow. We went to see the Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Gallery, which was just a delight for a Mackintosh fan, and they had lots of lovely bears for sale in the shop but Bev resisted. There was even a bear wearing a kilt (and no undies)!
We also went to see the Fossil Grove in Glasgow, where they have trees that are 3,500 million years old - it makes your mind boggle. And here were we thinking Paul was really old!
On the Friday Bev and Paul drove round Loch Lomond and took some lovely photographs of the Falls of Falloch, though Bev was tormented by those pesky little beasties called midges - she paid a high price for her photographs, let me tell you!
Then Bev and Paul packed their stuff up and set off for the south. We cried in the car, not just because we were leaving Bonnie Scotland, but also because we made a terrible discovery - Little Ted was missing! He could not be found anywhere! It is my job to supervise the bears, allocate them to the humans as required, schedule their trips to foreign parts (Blackpool, etc), and what does Paul do? He loses Little Ted! I am a failure, I will be demoted and Bill will become the top bear in the house - sob, sob!
