Went to Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry, which meant leaving the house at 13:30, and has us on a train that will get back to Edinburgh at 22:30 tonight. All things considered the kids have behaved really well, and it went smoothly. Next time I definitely don't want to do it by train in one day though. We had one connection with a 6 minute changeover, and had to get round the whole thing and back to the bus in 90 minutes if we didn't want to be waiting an hour and a half for the next (and final) bus back to Edinburgh. Glad we did it though, and really nice to see Jackie and Adam (and Sam), and meet Audrey.
