Scotland Ardgarten March 2017

A few days away to the Ardgarten Hotel on Loch Long in Scotland on a coach trip with Lochs & Glens. We have been using these about twice a year for the last 20 years and always have a brilliant time. This trip incorporates days out to Inveraray and a boat trip around Loch Lomond. A trip out to Benmore Gardens and Dunoon and a day in Glasgow with a visit to the Riverside Museum thrown in. The weather was mixed and i was using seveeral camera's so the pics are sometimes out of sync. Enjoy.
