Last Monday Christian's neighbour from Guysborough, John McQuillan, took us on a little tour around Loch Lomond. The weather was back and forth, but John's magic trick of wearing sunglasses to ward off the rain clouds helped to keep us dry at most times when we were out of the car. The hike was up Glen Douglas, and the view was spectacular. We also visited the little towns of Arrochar and Luss (Luss being the setting of an old TV show called 'Take the High Road'). It was a wonderful day, and I'm more in love with the countryside now than ever. Thanks John! More pictures on flickr if you like.

Me next to "my" little green boat. And oh yeah, I cut my hair a little.
Rooftops in Luss.

Where John had planned on taking us if the weather was better. We're looking from Arrochar.
Arrochar reminded us a little of the Queen Charlotte Islands.
Christian next to a big funny plant. John also called this weird tree a Monkey Puzzle tree I think (also notice the palm tree in the linked shot).
Pausing to catch our breaths on the way up the glen looking over Loch Lomond. The bugs were bad, but you'd never know from the photos.

Some sheep on our path, including the little one dubbed "spotty-bum".
