Loch Ard at Nightfall

This was the final location of the day.

Drive to Loch Ard in an attempt to get some nice sunset shots. Sadly the weather wasn't going to give us a red blazing sunset, but nonetheless we were gifted with some nice subdued lighting on a fairly calm night.

Also with a bit of time in hand we managed to have a cup of hot soup followed by a Belgian hot chocolate. Life is good.

Achray Forest - Trossachs

Our second location of the day was the David Marshall Lodge in Achray Forest.

A part of the Trossachs, this is a wonderful area to visit with many paths and walks.

The waterfall is a magnet to photographers but there is much to be seen while walking.

Inchmahome Priory - Lake of Menteith

This was the first of our planned locations for the day.

Inchmahome Priory is a 'National Trust' property, so once again putting our membership to good use.

Arriving at the jetty we await the small boat to come from the island and pick us up for our outward journey.

On arrival we are - as usual - met with friendly staff who are always very knowledgeable and happy to assist.

There is a nature trail so we opt to walk this first and then explore the Priory.

First class visit and very enjoyable.
