Day 5 From Oban to Glasgow
 |
| To many castles? |
 |
| Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyle |
We started our day at
Cruachan, a (man made) hollow mountain which holds the world's first high head reversible pumped storage hydro scheme - a truly amazing engineering achievement. Visiting the plant is fun and leads you trough a tunnel which was dug out by hand through the granite rock by 1300 miners.
Along many lochs and hills we rode to Glasgow, which was a bit of a letdown. The city had clearly better days. Even the
Charles Rennie Mackintosh stuff was dissapointing. Our hotel and restaurant compensated that more then enough.
