We have had a lovely week here, cottage was ideal (Glenfruin Lodge), very cosy and well equipped.
Not surprisingly the weather wasn’t always on our side but a few recommendations:
– walk up Conic Hill – lovely views at the top even with a bit of rain and lots of wind.
– Three Loch forest drive – very picturesque.
– Loch Lomond sea life aquarium for a rainy day.
– Scalpsie bay on the Isle of Bute to see a seal colony – beautiful island.
– Pucks Glen for a gorgeous gorge walk.
Also strongly recommend Fruin Farm (opposite) for dinner, lovely food, great owners and staff. Very accommodating of a noisy 9 month old.
A thoroughly enjoyable week, we will be back to explore more…

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.
