Glasgow, Motherwell
Tuesday, 12th August, 2003
Finally I made it up into Scotland, first stop Motherwell.  Here I arranged to meet up with Ewan Tait owner of Scotland's online railway community Scot-rail group, after all if you need a guide you may as well have one that knows where he is going, many thanks Ewan
