Day 1 - July 16th - Glasgow to Skye
|
First stop: the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. To be more specific, the National Park visitor centre at Loch Lomond Shores. |
|
After we got an introduction to the area at the Visitor Centre, we
walked to the lake shore and into the Loch Lomond Aquarium.

 The aquarium has a walk-through tank, allowing photography from amongst the fish. Above, Alec, Kyle and Jon. Right: Brad in one of the otter tank's viewports. |

From Loch Lomond Shores we drove up the loch, stopping at Luss (home of Pete's Colquhoun clan) for lunch. Then we turned off on the Road to the Isles, with the historic Glencoe as our first destination. Glencoe is remembered for the February, 1692, massacre of the MacDonalds of Glencoe by the forces of King William, under the leadership of Captain Robert Campbell. |

|
 |
| Next stop, the monument to the Young Pretender - Prince Charles Edward Stuart (aka "Bonnie Prince Charlie") at Glenfinnan. It was here that he landed on the Scottish mainland and raised his standard to start the 1745-46 Jacobite Rising. |
