Now Friday morning and this will be the last entry until we get up to Dornoch in northern Scotland where we will spend two nights.

Yesterday we went over to Inveraray Castle on Loch Fyne and it was a great trip in spite of the weather which is still 60ish and misty rain and fog. The road to Inveraray takes us past Loch Lomand which is really neat in the wind and rain … with the white caps on the water. The Loch Lomand national park is a fantastic piece of property … this whole section of the country seems like a park … so clean and remote. There seems to be a lot of camping in travel trailers here as we are passing them quite a bit and the caravan or trailer parks are every few miles along the road. While we thought of venturing further while here at Aberfeldy, our average speed on the roads seems to be about 30 miles per hour so that determines how far we go each day. Thursday over to Inveraray was 65 miles (mostly two lane and a bit one lane) and it took about 3 hours including stopping for gas, hitting the ATM (387 bucks got me 200 pounds), and the obligatory tea and scone stop.
