Saturday shopping at Gretna with Ann and John and Yvonne.
Wearing my Glasgow University kilt as Ann and I were headed straight from there to Glasgow for an overnight in a hotel...
...for an early start Sunday morning. Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust's Mother's Day outing to the Trossachs. One of the last AEC Reliance coaches built before the mark ceased production thirty years ago. Nowadays it is normally used only for schools runs in Ayrshire but today it was hired for a classic coach tour.
Heading over the Campsie Fells from Glasgow north towards the Trossachs, this is the view from the viewpoint on the Crow Road between Lennoxtown and Fintry.
We stopped for a time in Callander. The coach park is on the site of the former railway station which closed in 1965, in the background is a bridge where the road crossed over the railway.
Loch Achray. The big house in the background was once a hotel but is now a timeshare complex.
A pause on the Duke's Pass route from Callander to Aberfoyle, with Ben An in the background.
More to follow shortly
