• Roslin to Glencoe

    May 31, 2025 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Can’t say it was the best day or our trip. Got out of Roslin very upbeat but as they day went, things got quite gloomy and WET!

    We are out in the Boondocks! You’d think. The roads were very busy. My nerves were on edge as the roads are quite narrow with everything going quite fast. The rain didn’t help at all.

    We headed north 2/3 the way to Inverness then crossed across the mountains to Fort Williams socked at how touristy it was headed south along the beautiful Loch Linnhe expecting it to be quiet in the village of Glencoe.

    Spectacular scenery driving through Glencoe. Sandra’s parents live in Glencoe, QLd. Nothing like this…the hills here are humongous. Walkers everywhere! Many lochs and rivers. And it’s about 10 degrees.

    This was not the day to ‘wing it’ with accomodation. Every thing is booked out. Paul managed to get us a self service flat in a gorgeous location. The owners live in a converted stone church. Flat is compact, cosy and beautiful. Like I’d love to have on the farm. We are far from the crowds and it’s very quiet.
    To find accommodation we had to drive over the mountain pass more than an hour south again, now not that far from Glasgow
