We went on Safari.....

Last week Mike was speaking at Scottish Churches house in Dumblane, so we took the opportunity to have a quick family break and went to the Safari park. We had great fun we just wish we had more time there.



Blair Drummond safari park opened in 1970 in the grounds of Blair Drummond house, which was purchased by Sir John Kay a Glasgow tea merchant in 1916. Having no sons he passed it to his nephew Sir John Muir father of the present owner Jamie Muir. The house remained a family home until 1977 when it was sold to the Camphill Trust, a charity that cares for people with special needs. The existing late – Victorian house replaced a mansion house built in 1715, which was sited in what is now the giraffe enclosure. Most of the remaining trees in the park date from the period of the earlier house.





There is so much to see and do, there where so things we didn't get to do because we didn't have time.







Yes that is Alyssa going down on her own, she has no fear and just had a blast on the slide, just has well it was the only ride that was free.

Markus just chilled in his buggy, he did get to have a swing with mummy on the play ground so he wasn't left out.






The way the park is set up you get to drive threw the animal enclosures, we really look forward to going back soon.

GREAT photos, It looks like you all had so much fun. Andrew looked over while I was scanning through them and he ask, "Where are they?" when I said Scotland he was suprized.
