right, back to the scottish holiday. still plenty of stuff to come all you scots-lovers !
One morning we went to Inchcailloch Island
we set off by boat from balmaha boatyard.
The girls loved it:
and so did my father-in-law:
the boat dropped us off at a jetty and went off:
I then walked up to the top of the hill with jane’s parents:
the views were fabulous and would have been even better if the clouds got out the way:
click for big
meanwhile the girls played on the sheltered beach:
then the boat turned up and we got back before the rain:
Being resident in north west Glasgow I was lucky to live quite near to Balloch and visited Loch Lomond many times with my parents. I still live within easy reach of the area and have made many enjoyable day trips with my own children.
I have never been on Inchcailloch Island but plan to go over with my family soon. I believe it is the ancient burial site of some of the MacFarlane Clan (My wife’s family name) and look forward to checking out these roots.
I enjoyed your notes and pictures and hope others are motivated to visit this very beautiful part of Scotland.
you are right about the graveyard. it’s a lovely stroll through centre of the island to reach the old church yard and there’s a board explaining which grave is which.
we’ll certianly be returning to scotland in the future !
