More Scotland

































Yesterday we left Inverbervie and travelled to Dumbarton via a beautiful scenic route as you can see. The mountains had snow on the tops of them.We stopped at several places en route to admire the scenery.
The waterfalls were breathtaking-the roar of the water was un-real.
The colours of the trees was changing more as we drove from the east coast to the west coast. We had great weather until we almost reached our destination. We stopped at a lovely little cafe next to Loch Lomand and it started to rain a little there, but instead of being miserable it cheered us up to see just how the colours of autumn were brightened up and became much more vivid!
Our room at the travel lodge-just £19 was situated in a lovely setting with a view from our window, and a fantastic pub over the road that did the most amazing carvery meal for just £3.50p
Bill had the roast beef and I went for the turkey.
Our expectations were not high at those prices but we were very pleasantly surprised-both meats were delicious and the selection of veg was excellent and well cooked.
After a couple of large glasses of white wine I was ready for bed and we both slept like logs.
We were up bright and early this morning to start the next leg of our journey to Dumpries.
The weather has changed and it is wet and windy-not that that has made any difference really!
We have still been able to see the beautiful scenery. We stopped several times again, We had a wander around Glasgow and found some lovely shops there.
We arrived early afternoon at our guest house--beautiful place, very homely and comfortable, settled in very quickly, we ahve been advised where to go for our evening meal by Derek our host! He actualy knows Ludlow very well!
Im off for a nice hot shower now, will be going out for a meal shortly after that.
We are making our way down to Kendal in the Lake District tomorrow ,we have 2 nights there,so will be making quite an early start--its a good job Bill loves driving!
