On the road to: Ayr

Drove down to Glen Coe, a beautiful, misty valley where a famous battle between two clans took place, and did two hikes. The first, went out on one of the "Sister" mountains. The second was a portion of the "Study" hike.

From there, we drove to romantically (and musically) famous Loch Lomand. We stopped at Loch Lomond National Park for a picnic lunch (that we had made for us when we were still in Fort William). We then stopped farther south on the lake and took some great pictures in the glorious sunshine and had a drink at Duck Bay.

We kept heading south down the west coast past Glasgow and knew we had to find a place to stay for the evening (we had no reservation). After a failure to find anything in Irvine, we had great success farther south in the town of Ayr. We found a B&B VERY close to the beautiful sandy beach and Atlantic Ocean (literally only 2 minute walk from our B&B) - and also close to the town centre where all the restaurants and shopping exist. It was the LAST room available in the entire town - we are fortunate - and they have the room available for all 3 days we want to stay to conclude our trip. We ate dinner at the "West Kirk", a church that was converted into a pub! It is a very fun place that would become our hang out while we were in Ayr. After a couple of drinks, we head to our B&B where we will sleep and plan to play our 2nd round of golf tomorrow (more details to come).
