Thank you to Alison & Craig for a lovely stay at Glenfruin Lodge, very relaxing and enjoyable.
We have made the most of the lucky weather for January as most days were clear and sunny. We have seen some lovely views of the surrounding area, especially Luss, Balmaha (the Oak Tree Inn is definitely worth a visit, beautiful meal and very cosy).
We also visited Edinburgh and toured the castle with lots to see and experience. We decided to travel further afield taking in the magnificent views along the way to Fort William, Ben Nevis and Traigh beach which were amazing!

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.
