The weather up north seems to be holding so its off to Scotland for a
quick look see. Lochs and highlands are what we want to see, so after
consulting our travel bible, Google Maps, we select Ayr as a good place
to stay for a couple of nights.

Arrived at Ayr, found the B&B we booked, the Daviot Guesthouse,
stowed the luggage, and headed off to explore the town for a bit. Weather
may be holding, but it is bitterly cold. Walking along the seafront
means you get blasted by an icy wind which seems to be straight off the
north pole. Not a bad little place is Ayr (a bit more interesting than
its namesake in QLD). Cobbled streets, lovely old buildings, sweeping
sea views from the promenade, a smattering of quaint pubs and eating
places - but so cold: temp feels as though its below zero, and its still
the middle of the day!!

About an hours drive north is Loch Lomond, on of the bigger lakes in Scotland, so the next day we
head up there for a look. The scenery is quite amazing - snow capped
hills which form long valleys along which the Loch seems to run forever.
We stopped at a small village called Tarbet for some lunch, before heading back
along the lake to Ayr.
