Last day on the Loch


On the last day in Loch lommand we hiked up another mountain. it was an easier one to climb which meant we reached the top and could look out over the Loch and see it in all its glory.


Was deffenetly the high point of the holiday. hehehe


We let off a chienese lantern to end it. Tommorow we head to Edinburgh...

Riding on the Loch


On are last day in Loch Lommand we took a boat ride across the Loch. Wasnt great weather very dark but again made some atmospheric pictures.



Unfriendly clouds. it rained a lot.


Best way to see the Loch is on a boat, see the whole panoramic of the landscape. Would be a nice place to retire too.

Scottish waterfalls


Some more waterfall photos here. Scotland is a lot similar to Wales in some ways but on a much bigger, grander scale.


Nothing more fun then skipping a long the rocks a long the river.


The Scottish mountains


Have you seen the film Braveheart? you have? Well I've been there.


These were the mountains of Scotland. We drove through winding roads as the mountains got bigger and bigger and all were lush and green. Deffenetly looked like the setting for 'Braveheart' or 'The Lord of the Rings'.


We stopped off and decided to climb as far up one of the mountains as we could. We only got half way as it chucked it down and got too steap but here i am filming the exstrodanary view infront of me.


These were the views, we were up higher then it looks. Fantastic scenery for an adventourour.

The Loch


We had a nice walk round the Loch where we found this nice bit of land overlooking the Loch.


We never quite found out what that building is up there, it had big tubes running down the mountain. Think it might of been a hydroelectric plant.


This is one of my favourite pictures of the lake. Scotland weather may be gloomy but it adds mood and character to the landscape. I love how the clouds touch the mountain tops and the water ripples under the small boat.



Loch Lommand rainbow


On the first day as it came to the afternoon it rained, typical of scotland but as it cleared up we were left with this stunning view. A full rainbow arched over the Loch! Could there be a more perfect view!


This is a photographers dream! Shame are camera wasn't great. the rainbow didnt come out in all its glory, but this brain remembers it.



Shame leprechauns live in Ireland because there is deffenetly a pot of gold on the other side of the Loch.

Scotland 2010

Scotland!


Well its now 2010 and we booked are next holiday for the year. After the enjoyment of Wales and that type of holiday we decided to try Scotland! We've been before but again it was when i was very young. We set out on are week long holiday in July 2010. The cat journeys senery was fantastic with mountains everywhere.


We arrived at are cosy home in a beautful place with a massive Loch known as Loch Lommand. Its not the home to the Loch ness monster but it was still a georgeous Loch. We were staying in a nice little wood cabin overlooking the lake, it was very picturesc.


This was the view we had every morning. Mountains rising in the distance and the Loch simmering underneith. I have never been some where so stunning. I could look at this view for hours.
