Loch Katrine

Decided to go for a short drive around the Trossacks today, starting from Aberfoyle. We shopped here for the weekend at the co-op and local butchers, more chicken, lamb and merlot. The scenic Dukes Drive winds its way from here to Loch Katrine with nice views of several other lochs on the way. Only just managed to grab a parking space at the jetty. The steam ship Sir Walter Scott does cruises down the loch every couple of hours and was just leaving as we parked up.  It must have been a victim of the climate change lobby, no smoke or steam to be seen. Rosemary ordered a ploughman's lunch while I went off (for too long) to take some pictures. We carried on to Callendar, stopping to make a coffee at one of the many scenic parking places on the way. It was busy so we drove back to Balmaha which was even worse by now, mid afternoon.
It's been another sunny day with less wind. May be cooking outside tonight. The campsite is practically full, with a lot of tents.
Grilled the lamb on the Jamie.
