Away from the usual city tours - A walk around Glencoe Loch, close to the scene of the infamous Glencoe Massacre of 1692.
It really felt as if I was walking with Craig our guide, the landscape full of rhododendron, lichen, moss & fir trees reaching high into the sky. We passed babbling brooks, and the views across the loch were amazing with beautiful reflections.
The trails were planted with Nor Read on...

Today was supposed to be a travelling day as Googley Maps said it was 4 hours and 47 minutes to Gretna. Were only staying in Gretna to break up the journey home and, with the problems with getting to any of the Small Islands, we decided to fill the day by taking the opportunity to get to Eigg. Muck will just have to wait!
We had to be at the ferry port by 09:50 and get everything packed up and in Read on...
Plymouth is on the agenda for today. Brooke and I went for a ride to check on the graves of my grandparents and family members in St Josephs Cemetery. Its nice to know the names of your ancestors. I remembered a few names from when I was younger, or I recognized the names of others from family stories. My grandfather died 2 weeks after I was born. I never got to meet him, of which I am sad. My Non Read on...
