My cousin came up and we sat with our pictures and brochures and things and got all of our days sorted out. I was flustered on my own. Together our memories worked.
We arrived in Scotland in the afternoon. We walked around our hotel, found something to eat and called it a night. We had to be up and at it. We had scoped out the bus the night before, so we knew exactly what we were doing! HA!
Our tour guide was Gary. He was a great guide, funny and knowledgeable.
Our day looked like this....
We went in the town Inveraray. We drove past the castle. We couldn't tour it because it was closed.
The town is very sweet. Everyone we met was very kind. We were told that we had very strong accents. That made us laugh, every time.
We were supposed to go on a road that at the top had a spot called, Rest and be Thankful. We couldn't go rest and be thankful because there had been a slide, so we couldn't go up it. It was a very windy, narrow road.
In Kilmartin we went to the Museum, and there is a beautiful church and cemetery. We had lunch there.
We went to Loch Lomond. It's shores measure about 14 miles. It's a huge freshwater Loch!
Then we went to Ancient Hill at Ft. Dunadd. I hiked up and saw 360 degrees from the top. So beautiful!
A panoramic picture from the top.
Achnabreck with its ancient rock art. There is so much history there. American thinks it's old. HA!
We went to standing stones and ancient sites.
Kilmartin
These beautiful walls were EVERYWHERE! So cool. They have stood the test of time.
And that is a little peek into our 1st full day in Scotland.
Peace
