Short walks with a BIG view
Comments
Apparently...it's that colour because the fairies do their washing in it!
On the north shore of Loch Trool in Dumfries & Galloway, take the short walk or bike ride up to Bruce’s Stone, which commemorates Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.
The views here are breath-taking of the rolling hills and sparkling loch, and the stone is a poignant memorial of this country's troubled past. This is one of two stones in Galloway Forest Park, the other is a short walk from Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre.
The Conic Hill was a really fantastic walk with some of the most spectacular views of Loch Lomond I have ever experienced, even although it was quite a drizzly day. I made it back down off the hill just in time...there was quite an impressive thunderstorm! eek
On the way to Gouk Hill the views looking over Loch Lomond were also stunning!
