Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

Friday 4th September 2015

Hello

After nearly a week of driving around Perthshire, Fife and The Scottish Borders we’ve finally found the one!  So….fingers crossed all will go well and I’ll be blogging from Scotland by Christmas!

We started with a visit to the Lodge Forest Visitor Centre (scotland.forestry.gov.uk/forest-parks/queen-elizabeth-forest-park/the-lodge-forest-visitor-centre ) for an early lunch and then made our way along one of their clearly marked trails to the Red Squirrel Hide before driving the short distance to Loch Ard for a walk with views.
