Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) in a lovely area.  Some very nice restaurants in Helensburgh – Masala Twist, for me the best Nan ever, La Barca for authentic Spanish tapas and the Wee Kelpie for wonderful fish & chips!

Had a trip on the West Highland Railway to Oban which was very spectacular as was the return by bus due to the Scotrail strike!  Had trips to Luss & Balloch on Loch Lomond and enjoyed a visit to the Hill House.

Very enjoyable.
