A cold clear day with non rain was forecast so we set out walking from the house on the 17.5 km Glen Loin Loop.
The route went from Succoth north up the Glen under the Arrochar Alps to the bottom of Sloy Dam and back over the Inverugles River to Arrochar, a total of 17.5 kilometres.
It started on a fire trail with snow visible on the higher peaks..
...including Ben Lomond
There was lots of primrose by the road
And nice views as we traversed through the pine forests
It was lambing season
And there were lots of butterflies including Orange Tips...
..and Green Veined Whites
It was still sunny at the half way point..
..where we stopped for lunch
It was back down the Glen through pine forest
Past budding Young pine
Through heavily blossoming gorse
More cute flowers
And finally arriving back at the head of Loch Long
Dinner was at the nearby Village Inn, with curious black and white mussels,and a Scottish standard, haggis, tatties and heaps (turnips)
