…..Via the Lommonds…Loch and Ben..wow! what a trip. Scotland specializes in dramatic skys, remininscent of Harry Potter movies, rolling thunder and then lashings of rain, not your gentle Irish drizzle or polite English cascade, we are talking torrential, just to show whose boss. We think it’s just to compete with the dramatic landscape!
Loch Lommond..it deserves every bar of every song written about it! Went to the end of the road, hailed a fisherman in a small boat, and he waved back with a metre long salmon! We arrived in Oban, exquisite little fishing village and ate at the local equivalent from the ‘pie cart’….Gordon and Haffey cooked us salmon and scallops while we went off to get a bottle of wine which we then drank in their paper cups sitting on the quay in front of the ‘pie/fish cart’ watching the local boys doing dangerous things with fishing lines and hooks and getting into all sorts of tangles with their rods and the local boat’s mooring lines.
We walked along the esplanade and then as the sun set at 10.25pm we decided it was time to head back to our B&B!!! Lots of love, would love you to be here xxxxxxx
