West Highland Way

As I write this the sun is setting over Loch Lomond, the rain has stopped and the midges are eating my face. It's worth it though as you can see from the photo.

Today we cycled into the nearest village called Balmaha using the West Highland Way which is a 95mile path from Glasgow to Fort William.

While in Balmaha we ate in the Oak Tree Inn where I had the haggis panini. I've not had haggis before and this panini was delicious. Then we went into the visitors centre with a few questions about the wildlife. Long story, short. We are very unlikely to see otters or osprey. We should see Golden eagles up mountains. Grey squirrels are being wiped out by pine martins. And we should also be able to see crossbills and red squirrels in the forests.

So, fingers crossed and binoculars out

Additional; the sun has set and the bats are out. Simply fantastic
