Reaching The Highlands of Scotland on our route to the Isle of Skye, the rain became rather torrential. I couldn't pass this abandoned pair of shoes, however, without getting out of the car to take a quick snap of them:
Rainy Loch Lomond
Despite the wind and rain and cold, we could not pass Loch Lomond without stopping off for a quick exploration of the area. There are stories of a sea monster living in this immense stretch of water, but we did not spot any signs of its existence this afternoon.

Over Night Stop Off At Dumfries
Having picked up our daughter in Birmingham, en route to our holiday on the Isle of Skye, we stopped off at Dumfries for the night. The hotel (a Holiday-Inn) was welcoming and we were all welcome for the break in our journey
We awoke to the drizzly but serene scene of Crichton Memorial Church.
It looks like we are in for a wet and windy drive through the Highlands later today. But it will all add to the drama of the scenery and none of us is made of sugar. :)
