Day 2 Milngavie to Drymen 12 miles

Left the Premier Inn at 8.00 am after a pretty indifferent breakfast served by unhappy staff at the Premier Inn.
Wonderful walk today through valleys and hills with ancient volcanoes framing our walk.
Stopped to have a look at Glengoyne Distillery! Way out of iour price bracket even if we did drink whiskey! Lovely loos though.
Stopped at The Beech Tree Inn for coffee. Lovely little place with lots of birds in aviaries and small animals- goats, rabbits , ducks.

Walked on through the valley then began the climb to Drymen. First sight of Loch Lomond from the top of the hilll.
Got to our Hotel - The Buchanan Arms at about 2.30. Very tired Best Western. Gloomy room in dire need of upgrading but all was saved by the spa where we had a sauna and jacuzzi! That made everything better followed by a really exceptional meal at the Clachan Inn - the oldest licensed pub in Scotland- Lots of whisky to sample.

Back to the hotel to recoup and start again tomorrow.
Fantastic day ! It was missling most of the day but that was fine for walking!Read more
