Another fantastic week here, couldn’t ask for anything better.
Had a trip to Oban for the best fish and chips from a place on George street recommended by Rick Stein.
Went through to Edinburgh and visited the Botanic Gardens. As usual enjoyed some Highland Games.
Found a lovely cafe called 1830 Eatery in Gourock newly opened and excellent with home made cake.
Will be back next year

You cannot come to Scotland without discovering the secrets of our ‘water of life’. There are many distilleries near to Crosskeys:- Glengoyne (Killearn), Deanstone (Doune), Auchentoshan (Clydebank/Glasgow), Glenturret (Crieff), Eradour (Pitlochry), Blair Athol (Pitlochry) Aberfeldy and Oban.https://trossachs.co.uk/whisky/
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.
Regarded as one of Britain’s best drives, the A821 road between Aberfoyle and Loch Achray leads you through some of the most scenic parts of the iconic Trossachs landscape.https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/queen-elizabeth-forest-park/dukes-pass
