Our journey took us through the countryside and up into an area called
The Trossachs...which means something like 'wild area'....I suppose we would call it a National Forest.
More about the wild area later. We were trying to get to Loch Katrine but the heavy rains and winds had a lot of the roads still underwater or covered with fallen trees. We stopped for lunch at a little woolen mill.
 |
| Our resident photographers were great subjects as well! The countryside was beautiful! |
 |
| This camera gave some interesting panoramic effects! |
 |
| The resident weaver kept the two looms running. There is a different tartan (or plaid) for every clan and these fabrics are still made the old fashioned way. |
 |
| The girls were looking for the wooly cows. Coos. They are called Highland Cows and live in the ....Highlands. This was as close as we got to a Highland Cow. |
 |
| Cutest aprons ever!....The girls too! |
 |
| Viking princesses. |
 |
Time for lunch at the mill cafe.
It was a nice little stop and we always love shopping for things made by the locals. The afternoon would hold more adventures for us as we headed into the Trossachs.....would we make it to Loch Katrine or would Terry and Davey devise another plan?
Every day can be an adventure if you remain flexible and expect something wonderful to happen!
