Another wonderful week spent at Crosskeys Lodge. As before we combined walking and catching up with family (and even managed to get some work done..). Enjoyed the variety of walks to Criagendorran area and around the Loch. Becoming familiar with the John Muir Way and Three Lochs Way. Disappointed that the sea plane trip on the Loch was cancelled but we’ll do it next time.
Look forward to our next visit, Allison & Rob Noel (North Yorkshire)
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.
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
