The Bladnoch river...
Moving swiftly on roads, the miles shot away untill we arrived at the distillery on some small back road. A fairly small scale distillery, we were soon whisked round on a tour, where we learned about the different stages of the whiskey making process. We sampled the angels breath, saw the oak casks, smelled the grain. We then sampled the tastes of thier whiskey. It was lightly peated whiskey, making for a straight taste.
Lots of lovely barrels
After the curiosity of the distillery, we then headed onwards to Stranraer, where we watched some ferries and had a tradditional lunch of sandwhiches brought from morrison's. Not exactly thrilling, but soon they had to get on their way towards their campsite at Loch Lommond. However, the A77 was far more interesting, a fantastic string of roads that wound their way round the coast with views over the sea.
The Coast!
However, this fun drive couldn't last forever, and soon we were back on the M77 towards glasgow. Moreover, we became we became increasingly confused when we got closer, and further into the town centre, and the traffic became more and more congested untill it was at a standstil. We were then told to leave the motorway in Glasgow town centre. Thankfully our sat-nav eventually re-jigged itself, and we headed towards the loch. But the cures of our sat-knave was not yet over, we were directed along a private road to an empty farm. Fortunately, old fashioned navigation won through.
Scenic evening over loch Lommond
We then relaxed by going for a walk by the loch, opening a can of beer and consuming the worlds first ever SPAM curry. Mmmm tasty....
