To Oniich (Glencoe)

Another move north, this time to the Glencoe area. We did the Argyll Coast Route.


First stop was the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar




Then on to Inveraray 


The site of Inveraray Castle, home of the head of the Campbell clan






The Campbell High girl with the Campbell tartans


The town centre itself 


Next stop was the Kilmartin historical site 


The church held some ancient headstones 




And more medieval headstones in the cemetery, the oldest from the 1200s



We then went on to view the burial cairns and standing stones in the Kilmartin Glen. These are dated to some 5000 years old






Next stop was Oban, the site of McCraigs Tower giving wonderful views over Oban and Mull 


A stop to view the photogenic Castle Stalker


Then on to our home for the next 3 nights at Onich, just out of Glencoe


On Loch Linnhe with this view from our bedroom 


And this view up Glencoe from the beach out front
