Loch Tay and The Sma' Glen

There's a hotel on Loch Tay that is famous for its food.  It used to be run by South Africans and they built five circular cottages with pointy thatched roofs in the African style, called 'rondavels'.  These ones are very luxurious and warm inside.  It was cold, with snow on the hills.  We got there not long before sunset.  The first photo is taken from the pier at the hotel.  I have tried to add captions but it is very tricky because the photos keep jumping around!

The next day wasn't so nice so we drove to Aberfeldy and found a newly restored water-mill which had been made into a bookshop, art gallery, gift shop and a cafe.  From there, the route home took us through the Sma' Glen (Sma' = Small because it is a perfect miniature glen) to Crieff then Stirling and Glasgow ... about two hours' drive.  As we got near Stirling, there was an amazing view of clear skies and setting sun with long clouds of white mist clinging to all the trees.  There are few places where you can safely stop so we did not get the best pictures if it.

Most of the sheep were very muddy.  This is the only clean one we saw.

     

Coming home, Sunday.  Mist rolling up the valley.
