Ballachulish
September 4, 2001
The Clan Irwin tour group met at the Glasgow airport, boarded our bus and proceeded north across the River Clyde on the Erskine Bridge to the Great Western Road travelling along the western shore of Loch Lomond, past Ben Lomond, through Glen Fallock and Glen Coe to Ballachulish and the Isles of Glencoe Hotel on the shores of Loch Leven, our home in the Highlands for 3 nights. Conspicuous along the roads were rowan trees with beautiful red berries. Known as mountain ash in America, the rowan trees are said to have been planted "to deter witches."
