I’m nothing if not predictable.
A day off.
Out on the boat.

We went to Inchcailloch which I have written about many times before.
We visited the ancient burial ground.
This is the grave of the Clan Chief of the MacGregors, Gregor McGregor, buried in the grounds of the 13th century church.
I can’t find too much information about Gregor MacGregor but readers may be more familiar with his nephew Raibeart Ruadh MacGregor – otherwise Red Robert but perhaps more commonly known as Rob Roy
Inchcailloch, along with the islands of Torrinch, Creinch and Inchmurrin form part of the Highland fault line. These are the latter islands photographed from the former today.
And on the way out, this was Inchmurrin with Ben Lomond in the background:

You can sing this to any tune you like, or even one you don’t.
Some stunning photos here. I have cousins who are MacGregors – I must find out if they have ever visited this place.
