Left London (Euston Station) for Scotland. Arrived at Stirling next day. Travelled via Crewe, Carlisle and Glasgow.
A few hours in Stirling gave me a look at its famous castle and also the "William Wallace Memorial" and had a glimpse of Bannockburn and Bridge-of-Alan - travelled on same day to Ballachulish (via Connel-Ferry). Through beautiful Scottish scenery; Lochs and Braes. The heather was out and the country-side truely at its best.

A fine trip up Loch Leven, by ferry passed the Valley of Glencoe and on to Kinlochleven - Here in this tiny village I stayed with friends and had a really fine holiday.
