Greetings... have been without adequate internet since our arrival, so am well behind. Also some of the days are a bit long... we are returning to our old travel ways! Kathy is improving every day and we are so thankful.
When we stayed in Aberfeldy Scotland in 2005, we learned of a railway station at the end of a loch (lake) 20 miles down a single track road... we wanted to go see it then, but it didn't happen. Talked about it again in 2008, but we were too far away. So this time, although it wasn't on our original schedule, we made it happen because our revised journey brought us close. It was a beautiful drive, full of narrow roads, twists and turns, and plenty of "oohh" from Kathy as a car would come over one of the "blind summits" and we'd nearly meet head-on. We had tea and biscuits at the station, and then drove on the south side of the loch back to a town called Kenmore, where Kathy had heard of a new wool store. We found it, and now she's richer and I'm poorer :)
Then we took a guided tour of a Crannog, a wood & thatch house built on logs driven into Loch Tay about 20 feet off shore. It's an accurate reproduction of a type of living done 2500 years ago on the lake. Very, very interesting. Then we drove to Aberfeldy to find a B&B. So here we are. Will try to post photos tomorrow a.m. Greetings to all!
