Kilted fortnight holiday in scotland & france

[Redshank]

Chris, I hope that's not a blue bonnet

No Glen, it's a black one, as Ern will testify I rarely wear any form of headgear, but in jest I wore this one for you, I even put a dandelion behind my penannular brooch as a contempuos joke.

Confirmed! But you should see the other balmoral that was in the boot, that Chris didn't wear! As far as the dandelion, I think I saw Duff eating it as we drove away on my last day.

Okay, here’s the arty farty pix. I had attempted to frame the castle among some thistle but there was a water spot on the lens. These two are the best.







The castle is on a very narrow peninsula in the middle of Loch Awe. You can read about the castle, here.

As we walk up to the castle note the inscription above the door.

From the knoll outside the castle here’s the view.
