Who looked before thee.....? by

Just loved the old stonework that form the frames around these windows….

If you ever visit Scotland you must put the Inchmahome Priory, an ancient monastery on your list for places to visit. The Priory is located on a tiny island on The Lake of Menteith. It is that small that there are no roads or cars, only the beautiful ruins of the monastery, which are cared for and maintained. There are lovely walks through the trees or around the whole island and plenty of lovely grass areas for picnics. The really magic thing about the visit to this mystical place is how you get to it! On the shore of the lake is a small jetty and if unmanned, you raise a small signal which tells the boatman that there is someone waiting to go across to the island.
So, it is a wee boat ride to a beautiful experience!
