Staying at what claims to be the oldest licensed pub in Scotland in Dryman (The Clachan Inn)

There were an unbelievable number of spider webs everywhere – especially towards the start of the hike.

For much of the day we had amazing views of Dumgoyne.

Our first Scottish Loch

And there were lots of other wonderful views
