Day 8 - Loch of the Lowes


Today we decided to walk to Loch of the Lowes. Our map and directions weren't very good so we took a wrong turn and ended up walking a quite a ways farther than necessary. It was a gorgeous walk through the forest with spectacular views though, so it was very nice. We did eventually make it to the loch. Lowe is a family name, so we wanted to find out how the loch got it's name, but nobody there knew and I haven't been able to find out online either. The loch is a nature preserve. A pair of Osprey's make their nest there and they have some hides for bird watching. We didn't see the Osprey, but we saw a lot of waterfowl, some jays, pheasants and red squirrel.  I think we stressed the lady working there out. I don't think we were  quiet enough for bird watching. The picture today is our 3 generation friend picture in front of a bird watching window.  My mom Virginia and her friend Linda, me and my friend Olivia, and our daughters, Raven and Lara. We all have our hair in 'plaits' thanks to my mom.
