Today we headed off on a two day trip in our little rental car to the Scottish Highlands. Along the way we stopped off for coffee at the Falkirk Wheel, a modern engineering marvel which lifts boats from a low level canal system to a network of higher level ones. Took some pics and video to show you how it works.
Heading further westward, we stopped off for lunch at a delightful little town on the banks of Loch Lomond, called Luss. (Brings back fond memories for our friend Maggie).
Then we continued over the highlands to absolutely breathtaking scenery (I’ll let the photos and video speak for themselves) until we arrived at GlenCoe for afternoon tea (Merryl thought we’d never make it because I was stopping so much to take photos). Finally it was on to Fort William where we found a stunning B & B for the night.

What can I say – fabulous trip So happy you are seeing some of my beautiful highlands. Doesn’t take mush to make me weep when I see the photos and hear the scottish tunes. Never really lost my “Scottish-ness”. I’m a third Kiwi, a third Aussie and ? Scottish. Cant wait to hear your stories in person.
