It's been a typical British bank holiday Monday today. We have travelled about 90 miles and it's rained most of the time. We went down the Argyle coast to begin, almost to Oban, then cut inland through the Glens to the west shore of Loch Lomond near Luss. Before we left Rosemary raided the seafood deli at the Britstop and we have just eaten 8 Langustine and a dozen mussels with a bottle of Muscadet.
En route we stopped at a Scottish Power pumped hydroelectric station blasted out of the rock in a mountain bordering Loch Awe in the 60's. Incredible to see the way it was constructed back then. Health and safety was a woolly hat, a pair of wellies and a packet of Woodbines. We took the tour 1km into the mountain to see the underground generator cavern. The station can go from 0 to 0.5gigaW in 2 minutes, to meet peak demands.
We are spending tonight in Loch Lomond Holiday Park. This will probably be our last stop in Scotland and we should be back in England tomorrow, just.
