We head for the Highlands!

Starting to get into some areas with clitchy wifi....posts will come as wifi allows!

One last view of Stirling as we head northwest. Spectacular!! William Wallace Monument from Stirling Castle.

We headed away from the city and into nature....

The Village of Luss and it's Viking hogsnack grave from 1260!

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park with stops at the Falls of Falloch. The waterfall and pool of water below the falls are know as Rob Roy's bath tub.

Into the Highlands! Notice the sign is in both English and Scottish Gaelic.

While we saw quite a few lochs today, it was very cool to see one full of islets! There are more than 30,000 😯 freshwater lochs in Scotland!

Next we turned off the main road into Glen Etive and a single track with "passing spaces" along with a few hundred others it felt like!! The weather is fab - 70s and 🌞 all day long - so everyone is out enjoying it!! This and the fact it was Saturday meant we got a bit jammed up! The views were beautiful tho....in fact, some of the scenes from "Skyfall" were filmed here.

From here things started to get really jammed up at viewpoints so we saw a couple of things on the go...like the Wee House of Glen Coe and the Three Sisters.

Because we drove on past the crazy full viewpoints we found the Highland Titles Nature Reserve and we had it all to ourselves!! 🥳 Lovely little hike! The reserve has rehab facilities for wild Scottish cats and hedgehogs!

A quick sighting of Castle Stalker - 14th century, 4 story tower or keep that sits on a tidal islet on Loch Laich. It was used as Castle Aaargh in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Had a lovely dinner and then on into Oban and our little spot for two nights. They styled it as a "bothy". Actual bothys are found in remote areas of Scotland. They are basic, unlocked structures hikers, walkers or any one needing shelter overnight.Читать далее
