Another 120 miles ahead of us today as we set off from Greenock to loop around the mainland, and end up only a few miles away across the Firth of Clyde at Dunoon.
Photo of the day
Loch Long.
Port Glasgow
Our first castle of the day, Newark Castle. Quite a rabbits warren of rooms… it went on and on.Jarno picking a fight with the lovely lady working in the Historic Scotland castle shop.
Dumbarton
And on to our next castle, Dumbarton Castle. The heavens opened at this point, but still we scrabbled up the many steps to the top of the castle hill. But took the best picture back down at the bottom of this cannon pointing out across the Firth of Clyde to where we’d just come from earlier in the morning.
Helensburgh
One of the highlights of the day were the unmistakably Charles Rennie Mackintosh interiors of Hill House. BTW, a correction, we call it Hill Top House by mistake in the daily video (should be just Hill House) – thanks Julian’s Mum & Dad for pointing that out 😉 Living room table and chairs.Bedroom furniture and window. Perfect complimenting each other.The hall stair lighting with its rich deep purple glass.The entrance, every element Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Loch Long
We slowed down…Views up Loch Long with the mountains fading into fifty shades of grey.The sun reemerged as we reached the head of the Loch near Arrochar.And the remainders of the old Pier at Arrochar.
