A Few Days in Kenmore

Last week we had another three nights in Kenmore, Perthshire. We arrived about 3:30 & rather than check in took the dogs for a short walk along Loch Tay. The sun was setting & very picturesque, the camera makes it took darker than it was.

The next day we headed to Black Rock where you get good views down onto Kenmore, the white houses nearest are where we are staying

We had hoped for more snow but just the tops which have it

We are walking on easy forest tracks on Drummond Hill

Now that's a big tree, Andy thinking that would keep us in firewood all winter

Crag posing with a mucky tongue

We cross the road near Taymouth Castle and follow this tree lined avenue back.

Down the Loch with snow on Ben Lawers in the distance

As we still had some time before dark we then followed the other bank of the River Tay, some freshly cut logs

Again nice flat & wide paths

Bess enjoying a dip in the river

This bench is carved out of wood at The Kenmore Hotel

Our camera isn't great at taking night pictures, but everywhere is nice & Christmassy

The next day we set off for the other side of Loch Tay, more snow has fallen on the tops overnight

Believe it or not this phonebox still has a phone in it!

At the highest point of the walk there was a tiny bit on snow on the path

Looking down on where we are staying

A bridge over Acharn Burn

The falls of Acharn

Not a sign we are familiar with in The Lakes

The lower falls, we have been lucky with very little rain, but then the falls aren't as good.

Then a walk down a track back to the road, Crag unsurprisingly has a stick

A snow shower passes over the Loch

The crannog centre

Despite the cold, Bess still gets into the Loch

We had a lovely couple of days & walks & were very lucky with the weather.
