10th cont'd - Inversnaid to Aberfoyle
Sum Doood standing (gently) on a plaque showing that in 1966 the Royal Engineers built a car park and picnic area here.
Loch Lomond from "the wrong side", Inversnaid.
This one shows the ugly hydro-electric facility.
The passenger ferry from Inversnaid to Inveruglas.
Jo spotted this
hideous
creature.
Bring me sunshine.........
Oh, you have. Well. that's OK then.
Lots of info.
Info on the oak woods.
Loch
Katrine (pronounced Kat-rin).
What a dump, eh. (I'd be more than happy with the boathouse-style building).
Loch Arklet
again.
Water from here and from Finglas
Reservoir is
piped to Loch
Katrine and
then 24 miles through underground aqueducts to Milngavie
Reservoir on the
outskirts of Glasgow. Milngavie?
Muileann Dhaibhidh really, it's pronounced Mill Guy, (except it's more like Mull
Guy, in much the the same way as fush 'n' chups).
Trossachs
Holiday Park. We'd driven past it earlier and I'd thought, We won't be stopping
there, if we can help it.
We don't generally like campsites called holiday parks. We've been on some oddly named sites, but none of the best have been called anything much like that. I was peeved because a freebie campsite brochure from a tourist info centre had made much of the views from this site and they just weren't visible from the area used for motorhomes / campervans.

As four very loud Italian adults and three teenagers in a motorhome arrived alongside us I wandered up the hill. | |

I easily imagined that the mountain was a volcano and the orange light came from lava running down its far side. |

Of course, it's atmospheric pollution which causes that reddening which we love to see.
