Lovely trip to Loch Awe in Scotland

Just had 5 fabulous days away in Scotland to Loch Awe with Lochs and Glens. We went with friends of over 20 years Pat & Bill and Mary's sister Sheila. The coach stops at Ferry Bridge then Gretna Green and then on to Loch Awe. The daily trips out were to Day 2 Inveraray and called in to the Ardgarten Hotel for lunch then back to our hotel. Day 3 was a trip to Stirling and Day 4 was a great visit to the Hollow Mountain Cruachan Power Station and onto Oban before returning to the hotel.unfortunately photos were not allowed inside the power station although i did some many years ago.
