27th July – 3rd August 2019

August 3, 2019 by in

After a week on the east coast of Scotland at Stonehaven we enjoyed our week here at Crosskeys.  The landscapes are beautiful and so different.  We enjoyed Glencoe, Inverary Castle and Loch Lomond of course.  Even though it was far, we went to Loch Ness to see Nessie but no….  our son of 11 was looking for it with his binoculars!  We really enjoyed the cruise and our visit to Culloden battlefield.

Hope we come back one day…. Stephanie, Laurent, Valerie et Jonathan Petit, The Ardennes, France.
