Today is our last day in this remarkable country, it's time to bid farewell to Scotland. To make the most of our departure, we're taking the scenic drive that will guide us southward, taking us on a journey through the rolling hills, picturesque villages, and Loch Lomond. It's a fitting way to soak in the beauty of Scotland one last time before crossing the border and continuing our adventures south.
Our morning began with a picturesque drive alongside the enchanting Loch Lomond, a truly stunning route that served as a fond farewell to the Highlands of Scotland. Afterwards, we hit the motorways en route to Glasgow. I must confess, the shift from the winding back roads to the smooth, efficient motorways was a welcome change of pace.
Next on my agenda was a visit to the Tunnock's Factory and Bakery, a long-awaited item on my bucket list to share with Mike. However, it seemed fate had other plans (it must have known Mike wasn't with me), as both the factory and the original bakery on the high street were closed during our visit. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist capturing a few photographs to commemorate the moment, even if it was blowing a gale.
Our next destination was the outlet shops, and off to Gretna Green and Gretna, we went. It was just an hour and a half's drive, and we arrived, parked, and were eager to explore the shops. The outlet was bustling with activity, and we took our time browsing through the various stores. While we didn't go on a shopping spree, I did manage to find a couple of items at Next. Mum couldn't resist a visit to the Cadbury's shop, and I also indulged in a couple of Lindt Chocolate balls from the Lindt store.
It was getting pretty late in the day, so its time to go and find our campground for the night, Green Acres Caravan Park in Hacker just out side of Carlisle. This means we cross the border back into England, farewell Scotland and thanks for keeping us safe and entertained for the last 2 and a bit weeks.....I'll be back!!
