One year later

So it's a year today, Aug 23, that we lost Alan.  Our recent trip to the homeland gave me a chance to lay some of his ashes in a loch close to his roots.   We chose LochEarn in the Trossachs where we stayed since it's so beautiful, peaceful, and scottish.  There are many other places we could have chosen but he would have liked this one for the handy local pub, lovely lake, perfect views, annual highland games, lots of motorbikes going through the area due to the outstanding winding roads, and a really good chance we'll be back to visit.   We had great weather which puts it in a better light, so to speak, but I don't think the 'normal' weather will bother him too much.

RIP Alan.

Here are the pics for all to see.
The Loch.

The highland games sporting a Canadian flag and of course the Scottish ones, the highland lassies, and a shooting gallery that hopefully misses the plane.

The pub.

As an added bonus, very near by, the grave of Rob Roy, good company.

And finally, the resting place, eerily highlighted by the morning sun, or maybe...
