Absolutely Beautiful area
Scenery on our way to Loch Lomond, Scotland
Mason went on the boat trip, but we did not. He enjoyed it and said the scenery was beautiful. He told us about the waterfall he saw on the side of the mountain. While Mason was busy cruising around with friends, we took a walk over to an old hotel that looked very much like a church. The building was absolutely stunning.
The Tarbet Hotel stands in a grand, historic structure on the edge of Loch Lomond, with a history spanning more than four centuries. Today it’s a beautiful 68‑bedroom hotel, many rooms overlooking the lake, and it features a restaurant, bar, and several inviting lounges that often host live music from local performers.I would love to return to this hotel and stay here again.It was fun having tea here at the hotel and chatting with everyone who didn't go on the boat ride.Marlon helped the ladies across the street We have arrived in Glasgow, Scotland, where we will get settled into our hotel and prepare for tonight's activity. View from my hotel window. Clyde Arc Bridge OVO Hydro After checking into our hotel, we headed out to explore Stirling Castle. It’s a massive, beautifully preserved castle, still maintained by the King.
A guide from the castle greeted us and shared fascinating stories about its long history. We also captured a wonderful group photo on our Trafalgar tour.
From the hilltop, the views stretch for miles — absolutely stunning. The piper who met us at the statue plays the bagpipes very well.The piper told us to follow him in a single file, and away we went to the restaurant for dinner. When we got to the restaurant, the piper played songs that we could sing along with. He explained the story of the haggis. Haggis is not very eye-appealing. Marlon and I volunteered from our table to learn to dance to their 🎵. We had a great time Tired and ready to get back to the hotel
