The highland trip wouldn’t be perfect without the visit to the lochs. ‘Loch’ is another term for lakes in Scotland. Well, instead of went to the Famous Loch Ness, the lake which the myth of bizarre sea creature took place, we went to another Loch, known as Loch Lamond. The lake is so wide that without viewing from the top of the mountain, you might mistook it as the shore which open to the sea. We took some marvelous pictures on the top of the hill with the loch down below our feet.
We were so absorbed in the stunning scenery and as if it’s not exciting enough, we actually end up……… lost in the wood. There was no ending to the jungle treks and we have no choice but to keep walking the trail until it leads us to some river banks, and eventually to the main road. Luckily Mr Tour Guide did came back and searched for us and he claimed that he will never leave the ladies behind. Gosh, what an exciting incident.
The last stop was the Glengoyne whisky distillery. It is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland. First, we attended a short video tour which briefly explained the history of the Glengoyne whisky factory while we were treated with a shot of single highland malt Scotch whisky. It amazed me that this ‘awful’ spirited tasted drink actually made up of just water, barley and yeast. Next, we went around the factory to view their massive fermentation tanks and distillation equipment, although it wasn’t really that interesting but it was indeed informative.
By the way the guy with its back shown to the camera in the picture is none other than our Mr tour guide.
Well, that marked the end of our highland trip, but before we left, we took a nice group picture with the rest of the team members. Although there arent that much of interaction among the group members due to the language barrier (most of them were from Europe countries), but they are certainly very friendly and all of us enjoyed ourselves to the fullest.
