My first day in Scotland. We went to lots of places and I just wanted to sleep. At our first stop I'd been awake for about 30 hours. | And who is Wallace you wonder. Well, he was a worrier in Scotland, freedom fighter maybe. You can also take a look at Mel Gibsons film "Braveheart" and you will know who he was. |
After walking up a hill for what seemed like miles, I had to climb stairs to see this wonderful led mirror of William Wallace. |

We also went to a favourite spot of mine... a graveyard. I don't know what it is about graveyards but I just love them. | Balquhidder Kirkyard, Trossachs
This is the graveyard where Rob Roy is buried. Who?? you wonder. Another hero of Scotland and another film. "Rob Roy" with Liam Neeson. |
It might be the tranquillity or just the history of the dead. I might be a freak as well, I don't know. Any ideas?? |

Time for a little walk and a cup of coffee. Kilchurn castle is a very nice place to stay | Kilchurn Castle. |
Walking around the castle, standing in the grass, feel how your feet get wet because you're in the water |

I would not have any problem living here. Wonderful... but then again it is summer. | In 1719 the castle was defeated by the four English frigates and fell to ruins for 200 years The castle was abandoned in 1760 |
Just lovely. Love to have a seat...but where..there are bird dropping everywhere. |
|
And
we did NOT take the ladder |
