This past Saturday, a few friends and I took the train into Sterling for the day. It was only about a 50 minute train ride through the countryside. We walked around the city and through an old, yet well kept graveyard. The graveyard had some higher points that overlooked much of its surroundings.
The picture above on the left shows Sterling Castle in the background (which we did visit). Also within the graveyard were beautiful statues of some important deceased who impacted Scotland's history.
We passed by the old town jail, which was unfortunately not open at the time. In addition, we passed by the Church of Holy Rude that led us into the cemetery.
After, we went and toured Sterling Castle. It was very interesting and an amazing place to explore. I actually liked Edinburgh Castle better; most say that Sterling Castle is the most remarkable castle in Scotland.
We grabbed lunch afterwards, nothing too special, inside a mall.....had a sausage roll with beans and chips (french fries). This meal is very common over here, and the beans are not our baked beans, rather they are beans in a tomato sauce (you get used to then). The girls shopped around for an hour or so and my buddy Mitch and I putt around in a couple sport stores. Right before leaving, we grabbed pastries at some pastry shop, delicious! Arguably, the best part of the day was the train ride home as it was so comfortable and relaxing as we were all exhausted!
