Kenmore - Sunday

Just back from our short break to Kenmore - pretty hairy journey going down, and it was a long day coming back as my SatNav led us a merry dance trying to avoid traffic congestion on the way to Glasgow.

The weather couldn't have been better when we were away - cold, dry and windless - the scenery was wonderful and it was great walking weather.

Anyway, on to the photos - the first is in the (upstairs) lounge of our cottage - note me wearing one of my Chrissy pressies from Jo. We had just returned from dinner at the on-site Waterside restaurant - we had just come second in their Saturday night quiz, winning a bottle of wine for our troubles!



On Sunday morning, we went for a stroll - these are the outdoor tables at the restaurant:



Some of the cottages were set around a courtyard with a grand entrance - note snowman:



This one is looking across Loch Tay towards the bridge that took us in to Kenmore itself:



This was our cottage - side on view - our front door was round to the right and the dormer window on the top at the right was in our lounge, with the main patio windows leading to the balcony on the right:



Our walk was through the village and in to the grounds of Taymouth Castle - latterly a hotel, but now, sadly, a major renovation project:


We came across what looked like a bit of a burial ground - were there any ashes in this large urn?:




That's all that Blogger is going to allow me to upload now - more to follow in later posts.
