We went up there today, many hundreds of people out on the ice, walking, skating, sledging, (some pulled by dogs), and everyone enjoying themselves.
We walked to the Castle, then Inchmaholme, then over to Port of Menteith where the curling was being held.
After watching the curling, I think I understand the rules, have a whisky, then another, throw some stones, have a whisky, discuss over a whisky, then go to the pub........
The Hotel was doing a roaring trade in burgers and Mulled cider, everyone we saw seemed to be smiling, and if this is Global Warming, bring it on....
A word of praise for Central Scotland Police, the area was mobbed with cars, and they dealt with the queues with politeness and patience, well done!
