We’ve had a wonderful stay in this lovely luxurious cottage (Glenfruin Lodge). Weather has been cold until 27th April and has improved nicely.
We recommend Cattle & Creel and La Barca in Helensburgh and Loch Lomond Hotel and Luss Seafood Bar in Luss.
Great places to visit – The Hill House in Helensburgh and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery in Glasgow and a trip up the Loch from Luss. A short cut to get to Luss – turn left at the roundabout here, then join the main road just before Luss.
Barry & Christine Owen, Great Sutton, Cheshire.
The World’s first and only rotating boat lift. Completed in 2002 the huge Falkirk wheel re-connects the Fourth & Clyde and Union canals after the 11 original lock gates were dismantled in the 1930’s. Also an opportunity to visit the famous Kelpieshttps://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/falkirk-wheel/
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.
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/
