scotland
loch ewe
here is the last of our scottish holiday pictures (i think). it’s loch ewe.
highland fling
there’s little in life more satisfying than throwing stones in to still water
fish sighting envy
the world of fish sighting is obviously quite competitive.
Rothesay victorian toilets
I don’t think I even got half way through our scottish holiday before being distracted by real life. So i’ll have a few days of scottish things, and slot in real life around it.
so here are the fab victorian toilets in Rothesay, Isle of Bute
I am usually very careful about taking pictures in toilets, but everyone was doing it here. In a very tasteful way of course.
I was even allowed to show the girls round the men’s room.
we then went and stared at a parked up war ship
pucks glen (the second time)
we loved pucks glen so much we climbed up it a second time with jane’s aunt and uncle who live (vaguely) near by.
we had a great time admiring the gushing waters and catching up on life stories
and then we had a gradual descent to the tea shop in the local botanical gardens
we took the low road back which was a bit flooded
puck’s glen
in our first week in Scotland we stayed at the bottom of Puck’s Glen in
a lodge. it’s owned by a friend of ours who does holiday lettings.
if you are looking for somewhere easily accessible but feels completely
remote from the rest of the world with stunning scenery, and beautiful
walks, then this is the place for you !
Scotland day 2 Inveraray
more from Inveraray tomorrow – mainly our trip to the jail. oooooh.
scotland day 1 – loch eck
so, let’s start on the holiday snaps shall we ? probably got a few weeks of these, so sorry about that. it’s not all tedious mountains.
but the mountains were rather nice
these are of loch eck which was near our holiday lodge
initially the water was lovely and still with gentle mist, but it quickly descended in to a rain fest which stuck around for the next, er, 14 days of so
but rain is good as it makes giant puddles which those scotish folk called lochs
and it also made for some moody photos
a thoroughly scottish evening
we went to a neighbour’s birthday party last night. it doubled up as a burns night celebration as they are scottish. it was most excellent and we had a brilliant night.
the box above contains bagpipes, and everything you need to be scottish. seen below is a bottle of irn bru. also very scottish.
