Stunning Stirling

The hedgerows are now in full fresh green leaf. This week we have had rain and cold winds.
We have had several rainbows. 


A rainbow promise

Yesterday we had the helm wind blowing. As I drove up Hartside when I got out of the car I had difficulty shutting the car door against the force of the wind.
The band between the clouds and the land is known as the Helm bar


Cowslips are in flower on the roadside.

Early morning sunrise with the mist floating across the river.

The sun has risen higher in the sky.

Last week I visited Stirling Castle. The castle entrance.
Friend or foe

The Chapel Royal.
The Royal Palace in the background is painted in 'Kings Gold' a sign of wealth
