Across the landscape was Wallace Tower; a memorial for William Wallace--better known as BRAVEHEART!
We explored the castle for a few hours and then decided to head back to the house. David and Stephanie and the boys headed to a brewery to see if they could take a tour and we headed back towards Helensbourgh and Inchmahome Priory .
Inchmahome Priory is located on an island on Lake Menteith. We took a 7 minute boat ride over to the island and enjoyed reading about the history of the priory and walking around what remains of the building--the earliest portion being from the 1200's. The sun was shining. There was a breeze. It was truly a glorious few hours. This has been our favorite part of the trip!
Steve and the girls tried to skip rocks. Michaela and Emma will keep working on it:)
The girls are in bed. Steve is about to fall asleep on the couch. I am going to go to bed and get ready for tomorrow!!!!*** Knowledge we obtained today... Loch is the Scottish word for Lake! Lake Menteith is the only lake in Scotland--only because they are the only ones who changed the name from Loch Menteith to Lake Menteith!
