Day 11 – Off to Glasgow

Another relaxed start to the day. Sleep in, breakfast and a walk. Went past a lot of cattle and sheep. Was a little worried about the Highland bull who seemed to be eyeing us off as we wandered past. It may have been my pink jacket (I even took it off in case).

Amazing breakfast

I made everyone turn around when we encountered the mob of cattle without an enclosure – particularly when I saw the huge white what-looked-like-a-Brahman bull staring us down like the Highland bull. No fence… I don’t think so! My pink jacket was tucked away by this point in time.

Started our drive to Glasgow. Towns of note if we ever return – Fort William which looked wonderful. This was the superseded by Glencoe. This was incredibly beautiful.. so beautiful that Mark pulled over – yes, Mark pulled over. Donna even had walk envy. It was magnificent and so many walking trails.

Picturesque Glencoe

We could have walked a trail here

We also stopped at Luss, a village on Loch Lummond (Mark pulled over again -twice in one day), Another beautiful place in Scotland. 50p for parking and 30p for each of us to visit the bathroom.

Our drive into Glasgow was without incident and relatively stress-free (Wayne may not agree with that statement).

Paying the parking meter

We were greeted by our apartment host, Raymond who gave us the complete run-down about the apartment and the city.

We did a quick walk of the city (we are 5 minutes from the city centre) and found a craft beer distillery one minute from the apartment. Pizza and drinks – a wonderful end to a day of travelling. Left the boys on the pub drinking whiskey chasers.
