Scotland what a GREAT trip!!!

Ever since i won my pro card back in 2007 Davy McGrath has been trying to get me upto Scotland to guest pose.

Last year i got double booked where i guest posed at the Jr USA, Davy said okay let book it in for 2009, a year to the date he honored his word as did.

Myself and Shina left from Birmingham int airport to fly up to Scotland, We arrived in Glasgow and was greeted by Davy himself, those who have met Davy will all attest that hes a HUGE bodybuilding fan, family man, and has so much passion for Scottish Bodybuilding its unreal to see.

After all the days problems in airports (to much to list all mainly bags allowances) it was good to have a few hours to rest. As it was still reasonable early in the morning to early to check into our hotel, we headed to Davy's house there i got to meet his lovely with Aubrey and his family myself and Shina were treated to a few home comforts that i had not had in a few months namely so a good cup of tea, i took a quick nap on his sofa (sleep anywhere) eat and got all our bags to check in to our hotel.

We had a few hours just to chill out and relax then Davy picked us up to show us around his village and of course his famous store- PlanetBodybuild

I needed to train and myself Shina and Davy then set off to the gym. (Photos post training) i made sure i did my best to kill off poor Davy judging my his sweat, next day moans i done a good job! lol

The next day we head up to the Highlands passing many great sights again the camera wasn't near but we seen the Scottish Castle and the monument of William Wallace (yes the guy from Brave heart was not a myth)

We head up to the Highlands as World Natural Female Bodybuilder champion Vicky McCan wanted us to visit her gym shes has alot of strongmen/ power lifters and Bodybuilders come out that gym, the trip was a 3 hour trek in typical Scottish weather (rain) but the arrival we received and gym atmosphere far made up for the outside reflection.

Some shots from the gym Body Academy.

(That was the biggest shirt they had- im not a tight top guy)


Shina and myself were given a car to drive around and sight see, the buildings and there detail is amazing.

Unfortunately not many pics were taken but i just want to add that Scotland beauty can not be seen through the eyes of a camera you have to experience it for yourself to see just how amazing that part of Scotland really is.

This was a Abbey right across from the Venue of the bodybuilding show on that day one the Scottish Army shoulders was getting married all the grooms where dressed in there Scottish kilts.
