I'm off tomorrow for a week in Aberdeen visiting my sister and BIL. Top on my list is to do some of the local distillery tours. All that shiny copper, you know. After that (or between while recuperating) do any of you have favorite metalworking or model engineering places to visit? Thanks.

Don't know where it is in relation to Aberdeen but I would love to visit the Falkirk Wheel on the Socttish canals.
For the distilleries, all the big ones are similar, but get to the Edradour if possible for a different (far different) experience.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! And get us some shots of the guts of that monster ride, eh, Pete? Cool!
P.S: Pet Nessie and give her a big hug for me, please.

That's a ways from Aberdeen, we'll see. Of course, nothing's all that far really. By Google Earth, it's 127 mi. from my sister's house, about 3 hours.
Thanks for the ideas, everybody. I'm out of here. Report in a week+.

How about the Firth of Forth bridge, near Edinburgh? It was quite an engineering feat at the time.

One of the local people, another volunteer in the outdoors group, just came back from there with a quite detailed brocure on that "wheel". Some peice of engineering. He was impressed. ...lew...
