Kilmartin 4/20

With a full Scottish breakfast (bacon, sausage, tomato, egg, oatmeal bread thing) taken care of we walked up the hill in Oban to check out McCair's Tower, a folly a banker made as a monument to himself. It looks like the Colosseum, but smaller.

We resupplied in Oban (lunch stuff, snacks) and drove to Kilmartin where there is a whole host of ancient and not-so-ancient relics. They have a midieval church and churchyard with grave slabs and carvings and within a 2k walk there are burial cairns, stone circles and standing stones.

We have been lucking out with the lunch spots and today was no exception.

The weather was beautiful again today and we did a lot of walking.

We arrived in Glasgow in the early evening, dropped our bags off at the apartment and hit dinner.

A museum tomorrow.
