12th – 19th April 2014

Thank you Alison & Craig for a wonderful holiday here at Crosskeys.  The Cottage boasted everything we needed and more and was in a perfect location.

The weather has been surprisingly warm and sunny nearly non-stop this week!

We visited Balloch Castle Country Park, the lovely ‘Village Rest’ in Luss (nice scenes!) and climbed Conic Hill (and realised we were very unfit!).  We discovered a nice 2 hour walk starting from the back of the Hill House in Helensburgh that goes through woods & farmland that I’d recommend (google it!).

Thanks again for a great Scottish holiday.
