We are home now and it’s taken us nearly two days to get here from Dornie! Well, ok 6 hours from Dornie to Carlisle and then another 4 hours form there to home today. Phew.
Fabulous journey though as we opted for a different route back to Carlisle, through the imposing Glencoe and then through the Trossachs via Callander rather than Loch Lomond. The weather was fine for most of the drive and the Autumn colours were really starting to be at their best especially around Loch Lubnaig. Both areas look like we need to go and spend more time there.
As a final treat I took Jane to see the Kelpies at Falkirk. It was a relatively short detour but also meant we didn’t have to drive back through the centre of Glasgow. The Kelpies came into view from the M9 looming over the motorway as we approached the exit. They’re really impressive and it was a fitting end to our grand adventure.
Tomorrow I need to go and see the garage about the bottom of my car falling off.
Where shall we go to next? 
Brilliant! We have both really enjoyed reading all about your travels in Bonnie Scotland and of course enjoyed meeting up with you all in Oban. Hopefully by this time next year you will have added Kintyre to your list of places to revisit! Xx
Thanks Dave and Jayne. It was a favourite part of our trip catching up with you both and can’t wait to come and see your corner of Scotland too xx
Glad you’ve all made it back safely. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the fabulous photos. Thank you! xx
Thanks Kim – glad you enjoyed the ride. Enid was a huge help sharing the driving- couldn’t have seen and done what we did without that. xx
This has been a truly excellent What We Did On Our Holidays. Bravo xx
Sounds like you had a great time …. despite the rain. Thanks for your wonderful commentary.
Wow, great post and such beautiful photos. Scotland is an amazing country to explore and photograph no matter the season or weather, and I can’t wait to go back one day once the world restores order. Hopefully soon 🤗 Thanks for sharing and inspiring ☺️ Aiva
Great travelogue…..welcome back, ladies xx
Thanks Amanda. Glad you joined us! All a bit hectic- now back for a lie down. xx
Thanks Geoff. Yes – it did rain quite a bit but we felt lucky that it never stopped us doing anything we wanted to see or do. xx
