We took a coach with 16 passengers for a ten hour drive through the western highlands of Scotland. John McDermott was our guide. Doesn't he look handsome in his kilt?
We took in Kilchurn Castle, in the historic village of Inveraray. This is the castle, dating back to the 1600's.
We gathered wool from the gorse around the castle, compliments of many black faced sheep.
We had fresh, and I mean fresh off the boat fresh, fish and chips in Oban for lunch and walked around this sea side town. The fish was light and delicious! We then drove through the western highlands and pictures will be forthcoming of that area. The heather was blooming early this year, and some pictures of the reddish purple flowers will be included when I get home to download them from the camera.
