About
Aberfoyle
Aberfoyle
is based in the Trossachs National Park, lying between the the
Menteith Hills and Ben Lomond.There is a marvellous 18 hole golf
course and, next door to it, one of the best restaurants in the
area owned by popular television chef, Nick Nairn, the Braeval
Old Mill.
The
Scottish Wool Centre gives an insight into the 'beastie'
that replaced much of the Scottish Highlands human population
in a 'theatre' production with the four-legged supplanters
being the stars.
Rob
Roy's Cave, one of his hiding-places from the government
soldiers, is a pleasant drive away on the Loch Lomond road
to Inversnaid.
Carrying
on along the A81 from Aberfoyle, heading east, is found the
Port of Menteith which looks over Scotland's only lake, the
Lake of Menteith, made by a Dutch surveyor.
On
one of the islands stands Inchmahome Priory, reached by a
small ferry boat, much as did the young Mary Queen of Scots,
in 1547.
Following
the Scots defeat by the English at the Battle of Pinkie,
4-year-old Mary was hidden here for 3 weeks before she was
spirited off to France to prevent her marriage to the sickly
son on Henry VIII.
The
priory is in ruin with some parts still quite well preserved
along with well-tended lawns.
Striking
north again on the A84 past the long roadside stretch of
Loch Lubnaig, Balquidder is a tiny village on the way to
Loch Viol, just off the A84. Its significance is supported
by the graves of Rob Roy, his wife Helen and their two sons
placed outside the old ruined church.
This
was Rob Roy's home territory though his adventures ranged
well south into the Stirling area. He died in his bed at
the age of 63 having evaded the hangman.
