Edinburgh to Kenmore

After saying our farewells on Sunday morning we set off to Kenmore, we firstly had to travel over the Forth Road Bridge (which is no longer a toll bridge)

On the Fife side there is a viewing area so we stopped for a few pictures of the two bridges









We stopped in Perth to do some shopping & were at the resort by 2:30, but the house wasn't ready so we took the dogs for a short walk along Loch Tay


This was part of the resort & we were told an original feature of the estate


The weather was beautiful, this is looking back at Kenmore & the bridge over the River Tay where it leaves the Loch




Looking down the Loch


Katie & Bess playing in the Loch


A fallen tree & some driftwood




Bess reluctantly poses for a picture with Karen in the forest above the Loch


Looking down on the resort our house is the left hand side of the second one


Some large fungi in the forest (the handle of the lead to give proportion)




An ironwork Scotsman opposite the resort


Looking at the Loch between our house & next door


And we were moved in for a week, the house was brilliant overlooking the Loch.


As the sun started to set it was crystal clear over the Loch


The lights illuminating the archway


And looking down the Loch (all from the balcony)


Looking down on the restaurant & bar, not that we needed it on Sunday night as we cooked fillet steak & had champagne. We couldn't believe how beautiful the setting was & how lucky we had been to get one of only a handful of houses that overlooked Loch Tay, it was a cold night we were told it fell to -6 that night.
