Saturday, July 14 Low 70's All 24 of our Group
The chief port in western Scotland, Glasgow was point of access to tour the Scottish Highlands. We enjoyed a fantastic day in the heart of the scenic countryside situated among lakes, valleys, and mountains.
Fraser, our guide greeted us in FULL Scottish dress - his tarten kilt! We pulled lakeside at Loch (lake) Lomond - a mere 22 miles long. A group photo will be posted layer.
A morning stop to the lovely village of Inverary, home to the Duke of Argyll (yes like the socks) was serene. Great Scottish wool & cashmere shopping was a must here. then we traveled further west and over the "Rest & Be thankful" pass, named for a treacherous mountain pass and observed the remains of Kilchurn Castle situated at the head of Loch Awe and surrounded by towering mountains. Lunch was enjoyed in the seaport town of Oban, famous for the local scotch whiskey distillery.
Then our skilled coach driver, Kenny navigated a hilly mountain road thru Glencoe Nat'l Park affording views of Ben (mt) Nevis and also passing the popular hiking area of Rannoch Moor. The entire day was full of impressive Western Highlands and we are so blessed to have experienced:)
