12th – 19th April 2014

April 19, 2014 by in

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.

Things to do

Auchendrain Village

Auchendrain museum – just south of Inveraray

The preserved buildings from the 1700s give an authentic insight into how people lived and worked in the north and west of Scotland. You can wander freely around the houses and farm buildings furnished with everyday objects from time gone by.
