Continued exploring Scotland today, getting in the mood. Went from Balmaha into Argyle & Bute region, up through Arrochar and down via Lochgoilhead to eventually stay overnight in Dunoon. I hadn't realised just how impressive the hills/mountains are this far south and west. Two highlights were (1) the views at the top of the pass at Glen Croe in both directions (assisted by dramatic weather), and (2) running into a field of Highland Cows standing next to the fence with their calves.
Dunoon doesn't amount to as much as I'd expected. I thought the Calmac ferries would give it a more touristy feel, and it does have some of that... but I can't imagine living here right now. I checked into a Best Western so I could watch the X Factor final with a 4 pack of Stella, but despite having Sky TV in the room there is no ITV1. Currently failing to watch it live via internet - I think the ITV website might be clogged up with online viewers. At least the Stella isn't flat.
