We thought we might sleep in today but woke up before 7 am. We got organized before going to get water, information and breakfast.

We were trying to delay when we left because we had an appointment for a tour at the distillery at Glengoyne. But we were ready by 9:20 and just headed out.

The rain was mostly a drizzle through the first part of our walk. Then it started to be a steady rain. So we stopped to put our rain pants on in the middle of somewhere, on the path. And the rain stopped. But we were glad to have them on because the rain came and went all day at times very hard. Especially at the end of the day as we came into Drymen the heavens opened up.

We had a really nice time at Glengoyne Distillery and learned a lot. While we were there we heard a fun saying, “today’s Scottish rain, will be tomorrow’s Scottish Whiskey’.

We met a man while taking a rest at a monument who told us the story of the monument which in short is the reason Scotland has open paths. I will do some more investigation on this. I was listening but the whole time he was talking his beautiful Brittany spaniel wanted to play fetch with us. She would bring a stick, drop it at our feet, she would bark until we picked it up and threw it. It was a bit difficult to concentrate on the story. And we were so distracted we forgot to take a photo of the monument. But Etta, the dog, was beautiful and lively!

The scenery is stunning even in the rain. We end the day fulfilled and exhausted!! So what did we do after dinner? We decided a walk to let dinner settle, get water for tonight and tomorrow and pop into the oldest pub in Scotland for a wee dram. And when we came out it was raining again so we ran back to our hotel. Not far but we hit every puddle as you’d expect.

Make your day meaningful and enjoy your life!! ❤️
