We have just returned from a week away in Scotland staying on the edge of Loch Achray. It was so beautiful and so peaceful.
Look at the view from our window
Day 1
The boys had a fly fishing lesson with Morris the ghillie and we explored around the loch.

| Amy didn't want to be left out! |
Day 2
We set off to explore the next day visiting the The Lodge Forest Visitor centre We followed the waterfall trail with the boys on bikes and us on foot. Here are some of the highlights:
Day 3
A bike ride on one of the trails through Loch Ard forest and by the loch. The weather surprised us - it was really sunny - but we could see snow on top of some of the nearby mountains!
Then a trip into Aberfoyle; we arrived just in time to see a sheep dog showing off his herding skills with some ducks and to hear a talk about Scottish sheep
We visited Callander, the nearest town and had a wet walk to Bracklinn falls
 |
| Primroses were dotted around throughout the woodlands |
We headed up Ben A'an (1491 feet) . A steep and difficult climb but worth it for the spectacular views.
