On the road.. er, the tracks

Had a proper Scottish breakfast in Glasgow. We catch a train from the busy Queen Street Station, and begin the three hour ride to Oban.

It's a pleasant journey. We stop briefly at the Loch Lomond park, and enjoy some beautiful scenery. Around the bend at Loch Awe, the castle Stalker appears.

Shortly we're in Oban, which is the jumping off-place for the Western Hebrides. Many of the ferries leave from here.

This is a fun place, kind of quaint and touristy. We enjoy an impromptu reheasal of a pipe band, settle into our comfortable B&B with a seaside view, and applaud a 10-star sunset.

Tomorrow we'll catch a ferry to Craignure, on the Isle of Mull, and then take the bus to Fionnphort, where we'll catch the ferry to Iona.
