Help locating good military spots open to public

Post by Marek »

Perhaps a little strange question. I'll be visiting Glasgow from 5th to 16th of June. Wanted to see as much as possible (I am travelling with 4yrs old so one non-children location a day would be a blast to dream of visiting). My plan is to go to Edinburgh, Stirling, Faslane so far. Any local information of what is worth seeing from the standpoint of yours truly military/history/military buff, installations open to public/model shops would be of incredible value to me. Also, if anyone of you guys just want to go for pint in Glasgow, rogalla is coming :). My email is marek@mrogal.com

If you visit Edinburgh, make sure to pay your respects to Wojtek the soldier bear in Princes Street Gardens

Marek, if you get near East Lothian the National Museum of Flight Scotland at East furtune is worth a visit
