Day 89.
Stirling.
A day of contrasts, the ride from Killin to Callander was a delight, the route was almost entirely on cycleways through forests and on old railways. After a 3 mile climb through forest where I encountered 2 red squirrels, to the top of Strathearn where the long descent on the old railway high along the hillside over bridges and viaducts before passing Lochearnhead and Balquidder. Here we find a sign to 'Rob Roy's grave' but on reading the information board it turns out to be almost certainly NOT the grave of Rob Roy, what a con!
The ride through Strathyre past loch Lubnaig through forest and more old railway track is great and so we come to Callander.
Here is a busy little town with lots of interest and excellent but overpriced fudge.
It now started to rain and the remainder of the ride was a miserable head down pedal along the A84 to Stirling.
The town did not look it's best in grey wet weather and a prolonged search for accommodation did not cheer me up.
However, after finding a nice b+b I went out for an excellent meal at an Australian themed bar (the seafood chowder was superb) in the company of a nephew who is doing his PhD at Stirling university.
Tomorrow I continue south, perhaps Edinburgh.
Good night.
