Who could resist stopping off at Eilean Donan Castle? We photographed it last time we were here, but the light was kinder this time, both in the evening…
Eilean Donan Castle and the Isle of Skye
Fort William
Glencoe
There is something special about Glencoe, I don’t know if it’s the awful weather or the even worse biting insects, but in spite of all that we love it.
However, we had one fantastic day’s sunshine. We got up for sunrise…
Falls of Lora
For the kayak enthusiasts among us:

Oban and Around
We have had such a good time in and around Oban. It’s a gorgeous place, not at all run down like so many seaside places.
The town has a lovely harbour, and is the port for Mull and some smaller islands, so it”s always full of ferries.
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond isn’t the most exciting or the most beautiful place in Scotland, no matter what the song says.
It’s quite pretty.
Glasgow
Another city we like better than Barcelona!
Lots of interesting things to see and do!
Isle of Arran
Yes, we arrived on Arran on a sunny day!
Ayr
We had only two nights in Ayr, a seaside town on the West coast of Scotland. We would have liked to stay longer, but the site was full!
This is the prettiest view in the town, the New Bridge, built in 1878. There is an Auld Brig, and also a modern bridge, but the less said about that, the better.
The Machars
Yes, there really is an area of Scotland called The Machars!
The site of the famous cup of tea. Colin and I went here shortly after we first met. He carried a small gas stove and all the makings for a cup of tea in his backpack. I was so impressed! I decided then and there that I wanted to marry him!
