6/23 - Back to Glasgow

On Thursday morning we boarded the coach for the last morning and headed to a ferry that took us back to the mainland at Oban, We drove down the coast, stopping at Loch Lomond for pictures and then back to Glasgow


Our last look at the Isle of Mull on the way to the mainland.


One of the many very old (or restored) stone castles - mansions all over Scotland.


It was very scenic, going from the Isle of Mull with about 3,000 people to Glasgow, with a population of 750,000.  What a contrast, and just a short distance apart.


More scenery.  There are some forested hillsides but by and large the hills are covered with heather or rocks and some grass.


This is our group.


Barb and I by Loch Lomond.


Typical building in Glasgow.  The stone was guarried in the local area.  This is normal for all the towns, cities, and buildings in Scotland.  Stone buildings.  We saw only one wood frame house in two weeks.  Friday morning we boarded our flight for home,
