The Final Leg of the Tour
Charlie Hunter was the guide provided for us by the tour coach company; unknown to them when they gave him the job, he had already met Ed Miller on one of Ed's earlier visits home!  Here he is with his wife Claire, whom we met when we stopped in their home village of Balquhidder.
The village of Balquhidder.  The new churchyard is the rectangular area to the right; the old churchyard is barely visible in the lower left corner.	Yet another of "my" waterfalls, this time on a hike up the hill overlooking Balquhidder.  The log you see in the falls is due to logging which is one of the main businesses in the area, and our hike took us past both logged and newly-planted forest areas.
Balquhidder's most famous son isn't tour director Charlie Hunter, but rather Rob Roy McGregor, the (in)famous cattle rustler, con man and sometime patriot portrayed most recently by Liam Neeson.  This is Roy Roy's grave in the old churchyard at Balquhidder.	Two swans who seem quite at ease with tourists, on Loch Lomond.
The heart of the city of Glasgow is George's Square, which has a number of statues to famous Scots.  However, Robert Burns' stature as unofficial Poet Laureate of the Nation hasn't prevented some of the local university students from having fun with him.	St. Mungo, also known as Kentigem, supposedly founded Glasgow in the fourth or fifth century AD.  Naturally, he became its patron saint, and the local cathedral is named to honor him.
In Glasgow, I bid farewell to my traveling companions of the past two weeks and set out to the Hebrides Islands for a visit to a part of Scotland that I had not seen on previous trips.
