The stay in this nice Cottage of Craig and Alison’s was our “round up” of our Scotland holiday.

The cottage was located perfect for nature viewing and city viewing as well.  During our stay we visited Glasgow and Edinburgh and we also id walking in the Loch Lomond area.

Scotland is a great country and the place here at Crosskeys is great too.

Many thanks for the stay and looking forward to meeting you again…. sometime…
