Loche Lomond

Our first night in Scotland we stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast in a town called Paisley which is just outside of Glasgow. I think it was the nicest B&B of our trip. It was an old rock home with huge rooms and bathrooms, a grand entry with lots of woodwork and a really nice dining room. The next morning at breakfast I had my first and last sampling of Haggis and another Traditional English Breakfast. We had the same breakfast almost every day while there and tired of it... it actually sounds really good right now.

For some reason now this house kinda reminds me of something you'd see in a scary movie, but it was sure fun staying there and the lady that owned it was very nice.


The following morning we stopped along the shore at Loche Lomond in a little town called Luss. It was a quaint town with a few shops and some vacation homes for the locals. The lake was so beautiful that morning with the light fog lifting off the water and a slight drizzle in the sky. A couple of fishermen were out on the calm water and a few other vessels were docked nearby. It was pretty much what I expected a loche in Scotland to look like.

It was a peaceful place so I felt I needed to skip a rock on the water.


Here are Jeff and Cindy pretending they are on the Titanic. I think they pulled it off, very believable.

Stacie asked us to look handsome for this photo. I did my best, but i'm afraid it was a flop.

Somehow I ended up in this picture that Jeff took and I'm not sure why. It seems like it should be in the user manual for a new camera. You know, where they explain how to focus on an image in the foreground or one in the background. Either way it's a pretty neat picture.

Being a graduate of Ben Lomond High School, we thought it appropriate that Stacie do their Lassie dance at Loche Lomond. Not bad for a girl 6 months pregnant.
