A dark loch beneath blue mountains

We picked up the car in Glasgow in bright sunshine. By Loch Lomond, the wipers were on full speed. That set the tone for the week, and none of us minded.

Glencoe

There’s a lay-by on the A82 where everyone stops. Stop there anyway.

Skye

Narrow single-track roads, passing places, and sheep who have absolutely no intention of moving.
