      Scotland was never a place I really paid much attention to, I never realised it had so many lakes and rivers.

      I feel like I've been there so I'm basically just going through every town/village I've been in :D

      Scotland, especially the highlands, is a fantastic place.
      I actually think it is far more beautiful than Ireland with the same type of weather.
      The place is full of water.
      Actually this village used to have a special water based activity and that is why I was there.

      That isn't a always good idea as I discovered in the pic from Burgundy a while back.
      I kept trying to find the town that had similar street where I had to kick my heels waiting for missus.
      Turned out town I had in mind was Cognac.

      Not Kenmore.

      Just think what type of people from Ireland used to visit Scotland.
      And no I am not talking about tatty pickers, but long long ago.

      I was hoping after all your effort you would get it.

      Yep St Fillans at the end of Loch Earn.

      The Irish connection is Saint Fillan, as in Irish monks who used to visit Scotland long long ago.

      Opposite the hotel is a jetty and back a decade ago or less a floatplane used to be moored at it.
      Caledonian Seaplanes used to operate from there.

      Lovely place, only issue were all the midgets that came out in the evening especially if it was damp.
      Feckers would bite you like anything and you couldn't have a drink in peace.

      BTW have your ever been there ?

      I have not been there. The highlands are riddled with those kinds of buildings and scenery. I guess it just looked very similar. I have been to Killin and pretty much all the other places I guessed though.

      It does remind of this though ...

      There is a rugby post in the far right of the picture if you zoom in. I figured it might be something to do with the world cup coming up.

      Someone else can take my turn, just wanted to FINALLY get one right!

      That's it exactly. I'm impressed. I didn't even know it was being used at the World Cup. It's so tiny!

      I thought of rugby too since the field outside the stadium appeared to be rugby-oriented. But I had only looked at the three large national stadiums in Britain and none of them had much open space around them. Then I saw this which saved me a lot of angst.
