Carlisle to Fort William

Into Scotland, round Glasgow (right through the middle) by motorway to our first Loch. 

Loch Lomond, it was raining hard and fairly cool. 

We had lunch in a pub looking over Loch Lomond and then headed up towards Fort William.  To get there you have to go over a high pass, which Mark got very excited as it looked a lot like NZ high country.

I got very excited when we saw these! Wild deer, near the road
Next came snow, which was very exciting too...thicker, and just as it started to settle on the road and make me a bit nervous we hit the top of Glencoe, and then down the glen out of the worst weather.  We passed two snowploughs heading up towards the tops!  It didn't stop hardy walkers though, even with snow falling we saw several sets of people dressed in full wet weather gear walking through Glencoe.  Madness!
