15th – 20th September 2014

September 20, 2014 by in

Here in Loch Lomond for family wedding at Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss which was a fantastic day with weather to match.

Our second visit to Glenfruin Lodge which is a cosy place to come back to after sightseeing days in the area.

This visit also incorporated the ‘Scottish Referendum’.  We soaked up the atmosphere in Glasgow and were relieved with the “No” result and Scotland is still part of the UK.

Hope to see you again this time next year.
