Day 4 Lochgelly and Glencoe

---

After breakfast at Eleanor and Ricky’s, the first order of the day was a drive to Dunfermline to pick up a diamond drill for drilling into granite. We then made our way to the cemetery and Ricky did a great job drilling the two holes required to attach David Grahams plaque to the family headstone. We then bid our goodbyes to Eleanor and Ricky and headed north-west to the highlands via Perth by freeway then a scenic route through the Troussachs National Park with great views of Glen’s and Loch’s along the way. We took a slight detour to visit Balquhidder, a bastion of the McLarens but most famous for Rob Rot McGregor’s resting place however there is some despite as to whether he is in fact planted there beside wife and son.

Before long we were back on the trail and after a few stops along the way for photo opportunities, we arrived at the amazing Glencoe visiting the Loch and fishing village before finding a camping spot just off the road overlooking the three sisters. One of the benefits of travelling in a campervan is the amazing places you get to spend the night and this is one of them. Before long we were joined by many other campers as we settled in for the night.
