Headed back to Glasgow via the east side of the Kintyre Peninsula and then across the ferry from Dunoon to Gourock. A very pretty drive on the way back having Arran on the right before heading west to Tarbert where we stopped for lunch.

We were very lucky with the weather, the wind of course was blowing a gale but the rain stayed at bay which made it so much better.

On the way we stopped at Skipness Castle which dates from the mid 13th century.

I got back into Gourock just after 4pm so I decided to go via Largs and up through Dalry and by this time the sun was well gone. Fleeing around these narrow twisty roads was a bit of a challenge at times, especially when the locals came around the bends over the line if there was one that is.

It was a relief to get on to the wider roads and even more of a relief when I made it back to Houston. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Campbelltown and every time I return to Scotland I will do my best to return here , it’s almost a pilgrimage to recapture youth and of course say hello to my mother.

Until we meet again!!
