After posting “Nine years later”, I browsed further back through the archives and found that 10 April 2009 was a pretty good day too. We’d stayed overnight in Edinburgh, and were driving up to Skye. We visited the Falkirk Wheel on our way, then, as we drove up the A9 near Gleneagles, discovered that a steam-hauled special was due imminently – the “Great Britain II” railtour, on its way to Inverness. The latter appeared on the blog at the time, but the Wheel didn’t.
