Down thro' the glen

I'm heading back to the US of A at the end of this week (visiting friends and family and attending my friend E's beach wedding), so I thought I should try to catch up on pics from Scotland before I go.

So to continue, Scotland, Day 3: Glen Coe

Another early morning at Strome Ferry, Loch Carron

We left Strome Ferry and the Stationmaster's House for the last time to head back into the Highlands. After a brief stop in Kintail, we drove through the Great Glen towards Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles.

Kintail

Ben Nevis, most of which is not visible, as 9 days out of 10 the top is hidden by clouds

The Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, near Ben Nevis and Fort William

Then it was on to an amazing hike in Glen Coe, site of the infamous massacre of the MacDonalds at the hands of the Campbells in 1692.

Leaving Glen Coe

After a brief stop at St. Conan's Kirk on Loch Awe in Argyll, we ended up in Oban, the Gateway to the Isles, to spend the night.
