Glasgow - Kenmore

Left at 8.30 for 30 minutes walk to pick up car. Finally organised and drove out of Glasgow at about 9.45. We enjoyed our time there. First stop was the Falkirk Wheel. We watched it go round- fascinating. From there we got off the main road and took to the country lanes to Doune for a picnic lunch. After lunch we explored Doune Castle and much to our delight discovered that Monty Python filmed 'The Holy Grail' there. It has been used for other movies and TV shows. We then stopped at Killen to look at the Falls of Dochart. Lovely little place on a river. It has a mill with working wheel. It is no longer a working mill.
The pub we had a drink at is said to be 600-800 years old. From there to Loch Rannoch Hotel Resort, where I worked during the Scottish summer of 1988. Being in that beautiful location again brought back so many wonderful memories of that time. And it was so cold today! We journeyed back to Kenmore to book in. Once again the farms & forest are gorgeous. Fat sheep & highland cows being the stars of the show! Tea at the Courtyard Bar then back to unit for bed. Another busy day tomorrow!Read more
