Having attempted to show Ashley Glasgow in one day – we then packed a mini cross section of scotland into the next.
First up was our trip to St Peters seminary that I have mentioned previously. Once we had finished with the modernist ruin we headed for more typical scenic country (although not before passing the Faslane nuclear sub base). Our first stop was for a quick introduction to the Scottish culinary delicacy of the bacon roll – one of the better propents of which sits by the highway at Arrochar. this lead to a tour of the west coast sea lochs – Long, & Fyne with a quick stroll around Inverary, before we cut across to the port of Oban for lunch.
In the afternoon we followed the coast road north past islands into the highlands proper. Returning through Glencoe,snow gave way to brilliant sunshine creating a magical atmosphere.
Cutting back towards Edinburgh we retraced routes from easter through the spectacular Pertshire countryside including Killin.
We even managed a quick stop in Queensferry for the Forth Bridge and a late dinner in Leith at Diner 7 – great food with a casual atmosphere and still buzzing at 10 pm on a Sunday.
My battery ran out at St Peter’s so will post some photos when I get them from Ashley.
