Glenfinnan Monument at the head of Loch Shiel
The monument was constructed in 1815, near the location where Bonnie Prince Charlie arrived from France in 1745 in an attempt to restore the Stuart claim to the Scottish throne.
Glenfinnan Viaduct might be familiar to some as the scene of the flying car scene from the
Harry Potter - Chamber of Secrets movie.
Ben Nevis - Britain's tallest mountain - visible from the A830 road
Nate providing some perspective to the size of the boulders strewn about the base of one of Glen Coe's mountains.
Rainbow at Glen Coe
Haggis, Neeps and Tatties! I chose the Clachaig Inn at Glen Coe as the place to try Scotland's national dish, along with the usual accompaniments of mashed turnips and potatoes. There was no particularly unpleasant taste to the haggis - I think Nate would agree. I could relate it to a spicy meatloaf with a crumbly consistency. I just tried not to think of the ingredients as I cleaned the plate.

I wonder if they serve haggis, neeps & tatties in the Scottish pub in Oregon City? Is it worth searching out or is one taste good for a lifetime? Riding in the front seat of Trev's sports car on what seems like the wrong side of the road takes an act of courage but the surrounding scenery is priceless.
I want to know how it is that most of your family gets to visit you before I do! You guys certainly got out and about. Trevor you always are experiencing something new with all your guests and weekends. I love it!
Trev, you and I discussed the national Food choice. I'll probably go without haggis. Believe that first comment is from Nate. ....gramps
