1. Fish and Chips

If you want to go this way especially take a good look at my first steps!
Not taking the transition with the phone (see photo) but directly to the road and eventually through the tunnel to the dam.

Is very strange that suddenly there is a telephone at a railroad crossing.
And when you call it is answered!

Nice conversation in which I could not refrain from asking “where are you!”?
That was disappointing because this turned out to be just in Dahlwinnie.
No doubt it was a misunderstanding but from this conversation I understood that I had to return to the station. There cross the footbridge and then on to the Loch.

May well have missed something but that doesn’t work either.

Pretty clever to run wrong twice in the first few hundred meters!

2. Split the G

Never seen so many cyclists in Scotland.
Normally I don’t say hello to that crowd but these turned out to be remarkably nice people! Lots of bikepackers too who set up their tents at the Bothie.

More on that in the extended Video!

Funny that a lot of cyclists with hiking backpacks (including hiking poles) headed towards this beautiful area on their bikes. Totally understandable since the long stretch along the Loch (beautiful!) is just as beautiful after the first time of course on a bike.

3. Cottages

I am very happy with my Hilleberg cottage but here are some wonderful cottages too. Check out the photos and videos later how people live like god in Scotland here! As I was walking back (day 7) there was 2x a private jet coming over the Loch ‘waving’ its wings at the level of the Castles.

This is to give a brief idea of the level of the residents.

In the cab to the airport I heard from the cab driver who lives here.
The 3 castles belong to one owner and when I heard the name I understood that this, including the jet, is logical.
