For our third day on the Scottish road, we are off to visit Loch Lomond, Glenco, considered one of Scotland’s most beautiful regions, we will travel through Fort William & visit romantic Eilean Donan Castle, spectacularly situated on an island at the meeting of three lochs & l wonder why l cannot sleep.

We stopped for a quick pit stop on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, I took the 'high road'. Loch Lomond was breathtaking. The photos today sure are different to the rest of my photos taken for more than 81-days of beautiful weather here in the Britain.

Last night, after 81-days of being here in the UK l was woken up in my Glasgow Hotel room to the sound of thunderstorms & lightning followed by some rain. It had to happen. Enjoy the change of scenery.
The Eilean Donan Castle is surrounded by majestic scenery and situated right where three sea lochs meet. Its one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands. The Castle underwent a 20-year restoration and was re-opened in 1932.

I have to tell you all, the scenery here in the Scottish Highlands & Glens is truly spectacular as you can see in my photos even without the sun shining. You could just imagine what they would have turned out to be if the sun was shining.

I was talking to Gary our driver over dinner last night, he said you haven’t seen any thing yet, so God only knows what we have ahead of us.

We now have two days at the Balmacara Hotel near the Kyle of Lochalsh Highlands.
