Early on Sunday morning, a pal (Elly, it was Maitland) and I drove to Loch Katrine, up in the Trossachs. Loch Katrine is approximately 8 miles long and averages approximately 1 mile in width. Since 1859, when an 8 foot diameter, 26 mile long aquaduct was laid between the loch and Glasgow, it has been supplying Glasgow with its water. Rob Roy MacGregor was born at Glengyle, on the banks of Loch Katrine, back in 1671. We began our walk at the Trossachs Pier Visitor Center, where the Sir Walter Scott is berthed. When we left Loch Katrine, we drove to the Lake of Menteith and Inchmahome Priory. I'll get some images from there posted, too.

Hi Mike great photos and I hope you also took in the forest drive via the three lochs. I have done this once but would love to do it again soon. But twith the camera this time. No getting back to Loch Katrine it is great to see this when the weather great. We have walked about one mile up the path. But with Christine not being able to walk any distance. And the price of the double buggy is expensive to hire. You know the type I mean.
