Loch Katerine

We ventured into Trossachs National Park. This area is also known as Rob Roy Country and is the beginning of the Scottish Highlands. Due to the lighting, our pictures aren't all that great but you can see the unusual vegetation on the top of this hill. There are few trees and lots of heather.
Our destination was Loch Katerine which provides water to Glasgow. We took a cruise on the Sir Walter Scott which is the only screw driven steamship still in service in Scotland. It runs on biodiesel! We were hoping to walk along the lake afterwards but a squall dropped in and ruined our plans. To our friends and family enjoying the heat wave at home, our thoughts are with you. I believe it might hit 65F here in Edinburgh today.
