22ND AUGUST 2018 FROM LOCKERBIE TO CALLENDER VIA FINNICH GLEN AND THE TROSSACHS.
We woke up to a rainy morning and headed out to Lochmaben Castle where Robert the Bruce lived in 1306.
We then visited the Garden of Remembrance and Lockerbie Air Disaster Memorial - it has been nearly 20 years since this tragedy occurred.
We continued north through Glasgow to the Mugdock Country Park which is free to enter and has several castles and buildings as well as a cafe and gift shop. Mugdock Castle was the stronghold of the Clan Graham from the middle of the 13th century.
We then went to Finnich Glen aka the Devil's Pulpit which has been used as a location for the television series Outlander. We found directions from a blog on Pinterest and it was quite an adventure to find the 150 year old worn stone steps down to the tannin coloured river and the moss covered gorge. The effort was worth the spectacular scenery.
We then continued on through the Trossachs and to Loch Katrine and stayed the night in Callender.
