Husband and I organised the weather to be absolutely fantastic for our visit to Scotland this last week. After a 7 hour slog up the various motorways we arrived at Killin in the midst of the Highlands. The guest house we chose,
Dall Lodge , turned out to be a very friendly efficiently run place to stay - many thanks to our hosts ( the breakfasts - yum yum). If the above link is clicked you will see the guest house faces the River Lochay - we had a view of this from our bedroom window.

The above photo is of The Falls of Dochart which tumble through the midst of Killin.

Our first trip was to the Isle of Mull via the ferry from Oban. The day was glorious with not a breath of wind - the water appeared like glass as we steamed slowly along. We sat on the top deck taking in the marvellous scenery - the colours of blue, green and purple mingling with each other.

This view in the above photo is taken from Duart Castle on Mull, a short trip from the ferry. Below is my first attempt using the "Panorama" facility on my camera. Three shots are taken and the camera does all the work of stitching them together. If you click on the panorama the photo will enlarge and you can scroll along.

More to follow!
