A walk around Andy Murray's hometown

Oh I am bouncing up and down with delight about Andy Murray winning the US Open! Huge congratulations to our Scottish sporting superstar!

Did you know that I passed through his hometown, Dunblane, earlier this summer when returning from Nottingham?

I went looking for Andy, but he wasn't around.
I guess he was off playing tennis somewhere else.

    I heard somewhere that you are Andy's coach, Bertie. Is there any truth to this or just a rumour someone has started?

    I am glad for Andy's win too.

    Cheers,

    You live in such a beautiful place. Too bad you did not find that tennis star, he would have had quite a lot of tennis balls and they are great fun!

    hey Bertie,

    Congratulations on your Andy Murray winning! As they say, "If it ain't Scottish it's crap!"

    Your pictures are pretty! It looks like such a lovely town. And so clean and such wonderful old architecture. Sorry you missed seeing Andy. I think he would have loved to have a match with you!

    P.S. I was reading through your blog and the scone story was classic! Hamish is my new hero! I can't wait to see what you do to beat him. ;-> And my human said if your Human Granny ever wants to share her scone recipe, she would be happy to have it. :-> Your Human Granny's scones sound delicious!

    I am pretty sure that famous in those parts as you are Andy was out looking for you while you were looking for him ... You two must have been following each other in a circle like when you chase your tail!!

    What a lovely little village Andy lives in! But of course, the scenery looks much better when you're standing there looking so handsome. Thanks for the tour!

    Hi Bertie, we are so very proud of Andy Murray! It was lovely seeing you in Dunblane and how nice that the town is being associated with such wonderful happy memories!
    You should have popped in to see our pal Marvin! Our human went to visit him a while back but she didn't take us cos we don't like trains!
    You know if Andy had known you were visiting he would have been sure to be at home. Did you see the lovely pic of his two dogs wearing his medals!
    They looked very smart!
