Thank you for an enjoyable stay at Glenfruin Lodge. The fine weather for most of the week was a bonus!
We visited so many places, memorable ones were:-
Queen Elizabeth Forest Park
The 3 Lochs Forest Trail
Inchcailoch Island (ferry from Luss)
Inveraray Castle, from where we climbed Dun ar Cuiache
Balloch Country Park

Dumbarton Castle
The Falls of Falloch
