The Scottish Trossachs


The Trossachs is the area straddling the boundary between the Highlands and the Lowlands of Scotland.

Trossachs Pass begins at the west end of Loch Achray and leads through a narrow opening to the pier at Loch Katrine.

Loch Katrine is owned by Scottish Water and is the primary water reservoir for much of the city of Glasgow delivering up to 50,000,000 gallons per day.

As oil-fired vessels are not permitted to sail its waters due to the danger of pollution, the biodiesel fuelled steam-powered boat - Sir Walter Scott - offers a tourist attraction between Trossachs Pier and Stronachlachar during the summer months.

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.
