2nd – 9th November 2019

Another splendid stay at Glenfruin Lodge, a cottage we really enjoy staying in.  Well equipped, lovely and warm when we arrived to damp weather.  We have been very fortunate with the weather, some nice sunny days from Monday onwards.  We experienced the first frosts of the autumn.  The higher hills being capped with snow on the thursday night.  Enjoyed tasty evening meals down at Duck Bay (good sirloin steak).

Wonderful autumn colours all around.  Recommend the thistle shopping centre in Stirling.

Many thanks to Alison & Craig for their hospitality.  All being well we hope to be back next autumn.
