Scotland 2020 - Day 1 - On The Up!!

  As usual around my birthday we try and go away for a while.This year due to having to find a new place to live we did just plan to have a couple of nights in Norfolk.Our friend Margo then offered us a cabin at their farm in the Scottish Highlands so our plans changed :)

  After lots of wind and rain and a detour as the A66 was closed we eventually drove past my favourite signpost.

  There had been quite a bit of Snow in Scotland in the days previously so after debating which we thought would be more Snow-free we headed up to Stirling and then West through the Trossachs.

  Callander high street.

  Continuing to head West we stopped at Killin to view the Falls Of Dochart.

  During a quick browse in the Mill thrift store we found ourselves a new curtain rail lol  Check out the Mill here - https://www.killinwatermill.co.uk/
  Soon after leaving Killin we find ourselves on the A82 winding it's way through the stunning scenery of Rannoch Moor and Glencoe.

 

  Panoramic view of the A82 heading West into Glencoe.

  Along the A82 through Glencoe there is a popular parking bay which gives you access to views of Glencoe Falls. Despite the pouring rain I made the short walk to the roadside Falls.

  A slow-mo video clip of the Falls.

  As the Glen widened Red Deer could be seen grazing along the river.They were mainly Hinds with a few Stags dotted further up the hillside.

  Within a couple of hours we had driven through Fort William and Spean Bridge to the farm and our cabin for the next 6 days.

  Day 2 tomorrow :)
