We arrived to a warm welcome and a nicely presented cottage (Lodge). The Cottage came with everything we wanted and the whirlpool bath was a nice additional after a long cold walk!
The Sea Life Centre was good in Balloch. A walk up to the Cobbler from Arrochar was excellent but the snow became quite deep at the very top, views were incredible. Almost lost the Hire Car though as Loch Long flooded into the car park!
Tried to walk to Ben Vorlich next day but the path was hard to find from the dam at Loch Sloy. However, the dam and the valley is impressive .
Loch Fyne is a good place to eat too, only place that seemed to serve a selection of seafood.
The sleeper train is a great way to travel too!

Inveraray Castle was used in the series Downton Abbey for a ChristmasSpecial. The Bell Tower dominates the town and houses the second heaviest ring of ten bells in the world and is open to the public spring /summer. […]
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.
