West Highlands and Lochs

Today we took a tour of the West Highlands.  We saw some beautiful country and great castle ruins and lochs.  This is Loch Awe.  Splendid!

On it sits Kilcharny Castle, an old Clan Campbell stronghold.

This view is from the top of a mountain pass call 'Rest and be Merry Pass.'

This piper, Iain Campbell was excellent.  I was able to talk with him for quite awhile about playing technique, dance styles, and the history of bagpipes in Scotland.

Our tour took us to the shores of Loch Lomond.  Here is Aidan taking the low road...I believe.

The low road must have been long, because here was the picture as we drove past Sterling Castle on our way back to Edinburgh.  A great day!
