Overnight stop in a secluded lay-by on the old road on the shores of Loch Earn. Quiet, with misty damp weather.
Spent most of the day travelling with lunch in the Smiddy farm shop near Callendar.
Village and falls between Loch Earn and Loch Tay. Home of the Clan MacNab and St Killan.
Met Nicola en route on her bike ride between last night’s stop and the Scottish Crannog Centre.
Everyone loves a good Scottish crannog, right?
Small castle in a broad valley. Stopped and watched a huge bird of prey hunting followed by a quick jaunt upto the castle.
Quiet overnight with just us and the wind and the view. Woke up to snow-topped mountains and a lovely walk across and up the heather to wonderful views of the Grampian mountains.
Walk along the beach and lochside to the Loch Rannoch hotel for coffee in the lounge.
Booked for dinner too…some 25 years plus since we were last here.
Gorgeous overnight stop on the shores of the loch.
