North of the Border.

This is why I hate paying for raspberries in the shops. I know where better ones grow wild. Its the same with salmon - my grandpa used to catch so much that he'd send my mum round the village to give it away. That was when she was a little girl.

Looking north over Glasgow to Ben Lomond.

This is Chatlerhault ( pronounced with a massive glottal stop after the letter t). It used to be the country home of the Duke of Hamilton and now is open to the public. Not a lot to see indoors but a nice cafe and a lovely wooded estate to walk round.
