Wow, Ern, fabulous pictures, looks like you had a really good time.
I'll need to persuade my clan society to organise something like this for the next Homecoming.

We visited that clan center a few years back. Had the best cheese & pickle sandwiches at an inn nearby, can't remember the exact name but we dubbed it Tilt-a-Whirl for some silly reason. The bluebells were in bloom that spring and they carpeted the forest for miles around. . . lovely memories, thanks!

Day 3 Coach Tour through Donnachaidh Territory: Aberfeldy
Wednesday, 7/22 the Society had arranged a Coach tour through the ancient lands of the Donnachaidh Clan. There was a lot to see and not enough time. Most things were pointed out to us as we drove by. We did have some stops where we could look more. What follows are only the highlights.
Leaving Pitlochry, our first stop was at Aberfeldy, where we had could see the Black Watch Memorial that commemorates the formation of the Regiment here at Tay Bridge in 1740.

This magnificent bridge built by General Wade as part of the military road system was built to speed British troops to keep the Clans in line. Although, I understand Bonnie Prince Charlie was grateful to the fine road system that had been created.

Day 3 - Donnachaidh Coach Tour: Loch Tay
The rains began in earnest. What follows and elsewhere this day are some shots through the coach window.
Loch Tay


The rains quickly created raging watersheds

My first glimpse of Schiehallion.

Although, I couldn’t get a photo of Garth Castle we heard the story of its builder the ‘Wolf of Badanoch’, Alexander Stewart. He was one bad dude. Our guide said his burial vault in Dunkeld Cathedral was worth a trip to see. That was another reason for me to be sure to get to that town by the Tay.
