Swans & cygnets on Loch Fyne, Inveraray, Scotland. 3 September 1986

After 10 minutes [waiting for a lift just outside Glasgow] a Land Rover stopped. A lady and husband who own a converted ferry station on a peninsula opposite Jura. He, into oil – been to PNG several times last year. They gave me a guided tour pointing out castles, peaks, lochs all with names and history – very interesting.

Took me to Inveraray, a one-time fortress town for the clan Campbell, on the shore of Loch Fyne. Visited the 18th C castle, a bit like Disneyland from the exterior, penny-pinching I avoided the interior. Went on a short walk, beautiful forest.

Bought groceries, checked into the Youth Hostel. After dinner out to see the sunset. Beautiful clouds and reflections. This is a bit more like it.
