Great day at Stirling Castle
I had a great day in Stirling with Neil! We both went to Stirling Castle. Got no idea, when I last went! Have a feeling it was over 10 years ago! We also went to Argyll’s Lodging, again in Stirling.
I am now really starting to get the use out of my Historic Scotland membership! 🙂
Walk : Dollar Glen and Glen Quey
Today Neil and myself did a great walk called “Dollar Glen and Glen Quey” from the “Loch Lomond, the Trossachs & Stirling” book in the Pathfinder series of great walking guides.
The walk was around 6 and 1/4 miles going by the book! It was a great walk, of course would have been better if Castle Campbell, had been open! But then it was New Years Day. So we did, of course know it would not be open. It just gives us a great idea to go back again, when it is open!
Vlog: Walking up Ben Lomond
Filmed during my walk to the top of Ben Lomond, which is situated on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. Sorry about the wind at the top!

Had a great day out with my older brother!
Today Douglas (my older brother) and myself had a great day driving around parts of the Firth of Clyde. We visited Dumbarton Castle, then drove over the Erskine Bridge to Newark Castle. Then from there down to Largs.
If you’re ever in area, I would recommend both Dumbarton Castle and Newark Castle. Also glad I am making the most out of my Historic Scotland membership.

Climbed up Ben Lomond!
Today I had great fun walking up Ben Lomond, which has an elevation of 974 metres (3,196 ft). This is the second time, I climbed it, the first time was back in August 2002. Back then it sunny day, so could see more miles from the top! This time, I was above the clouds. Which made it feel like, I was on a plane looking out one of the windows.
Here are some photos from an amazing day! And big thanks to my friend Neil for doing the walk with me!
And here are some photos from when I did it back in August 2002!
