Trossachs

Landing in Edinburgh we received a car with no tread
Upgraded to a hybrid, then drove to Falkirk for a bed.
Awoke to chilly morning air giving a glow to our skins
Revisited an old favourite, the impressive Kelpie twins.

Drove through the Trossachs past sultry Lomond Ben
Viewed a misty viaduct which spans over Ogle Glen.
Russet coloured scenery appeared rugged and raw
Low clouds rolled in accompanied with a downpour.

Journeyed alongside lochs with grey waters like glass
The semi submerged STILL statue we couldn’t bypass.
Folk stripped down to swimwear with bravado that’s bold
Because those mountain fed waters are mightily cold.

Returned back via the small village of Saint Fillan
Onto Dochart Falls that flow through nearby Killin.
At the smokehouse devoured the smoked salmon plate
Complimented with Scottish raspberry gin made it great.

Kilchurn Castle once belonged to the Clan Campbell
Whose ruins aside Loch Awe made for a pleasant ramble.
Continued onto Oban our destination for end of day
An intriguing port town perfect for a few nights stay.Read more
