Lake of Menteith

I'm lucky to live not too far from this beautiful romantic island


Jill turning the board round to call the boat over from the island to collect us. The film the Flying Scotsman was filmed here. I remember the boat going round and round in circles on the water while Jonny Lee Millar was sitting on this quay side being filmed


The day was very atmospheric


No Ospreys today. They have  flown to Africa


Inchmaholm Priory


We walked round the island which did not take long, as its really small


How often did the child Mary Queen of Scots run along this path


The last time I was here, the geese were sitting on nests around the island, sometimes very close to the path


This tree is amazing.



They must have brought all the stone for the Priory over by rowing boat


Once, when I came here with my friend Alison there was a wedding taking place. They have stopped having weddings on the island. I don't know why?

 
 


Time to leave the island


Off, she goes with some more visitors on board
