We honeymooned in Scotland in 1998 and spent a wonderful 10 days exploring the Isle of Mull, Loch Ness, Inverness, Craithie, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. We became engrossed in maps and had dreamy conversations about other places we’d like to discover during annual pilgrimages to Scotland. Best laid plans and all… and for a whole heap of reasons we never did. Until this week when we spent a couple of days in Glasgow, the city we whizzed passed with no more than a glance on our way to Oban 11 years ago, before retracing our steps through Loch Lomond to a new destination in Argyll.

So nice to read you had a good time, and the weather wasn’t that bad afterall.
The next time I have friends up, I may check out that Brassiere. Did you get a chance to go the 13th Note in the City Centre, for me it is probably the best veggie eatery about.
the weather changed hourly but always in our favour. It was particularly gorgeous on wednesday while in England they had torrential downpours all day.
The 13th note sounds like a good reason to come again :o. The deals at Malmaison are brill – £29 for two courses for 2 + bottle of wine.
What a great trip. Love the wellie dog:) My sister-in-law lives in Aberdeen and said the weather this past week was pretty random with the rain, so good thing it changed often enough to have some nice patches!
we named the kelvingrove heron trevor 🙂
