On the 2nd day, we drove up to Glasgow and Edinburgh, seeing more grazing land with sheep, cows and horses in the meadows, lazying themselves in the hot summer sun. Glasgow is not a tourist city, we found out later, even though the tourist brochures say so. There is the Buchanan Street, a pedestrian walk lined with some shopping outlets and the George Square, where we saw the statue of Sir James Watt, the one who discovered the steam engine (pardon me, if I am wrong). So we moved on to Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. Here, life is more vibrant, looking at the city centre, the Princes Square and the shopping malls. Of course, everybody is enjoying the sun, on the streets and in the park. At some street corners, you can hear the beautiful melodic sounds of the Scottish bagpipes. Edinburgh is famous for its castles, namely the Edinburgh Castle and the Balmoral Castle(Scottish home to the Royal Family), perched strategically on the hill tops.
PSSS...The Istana Negara is now being built somewhere in Damansara Heights(?). Hopefully, DBKL does a good job of this project in line with the majesticity that the King's Palace will command to tourists visiting Malaysia.
