First impression of Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage when we opened the door WOW! Straight away it felt like home, but on a grander scale.
Had a lovely visit to Luss. Went to see the waterfall at Falloch.
Fabulous time at Alexandria visiting Totally Tartan Kilt Makers, researching my ancesters clan. Whilst no official tartan, I can wear Buchanan (Baxter) which are considered dependents of the Clan MacMillan.
Great day out at Inverarary. We took the scenic route along the clyde. On Craig’s recommendation we had fish and chips in Tyndrum. However the fish & chip shop is inside the ‘Real Food Cafe’, as it is not obvious.
Great host, great location. Hope to come back soon.
