Mein Schiff

Off to Glasgow again with pupils for the curtain raiser to the Debating season. Last year, this trip coincided with a Tartan Army migration; this year, it was the Rangers' fans who serenaded us on the way home and showed off the tattoos on their torsos!

By contrast, the journey down was glorious! For some reason we crossed the Forth Rail Bridge on our journey from Aberdeen to Glasgow but at least it afforded the opportunity to see the Firth of Forth in glistening sunshine with Mein Schiff (once upon a time the setting of BBC television's docu-soap The Cruise) plying a route across the estuary!
