The Bonnie Bonnie Butts of Loch Lomond

This painting at the Cameron House reception desk illustrates how we
Americans have always misunderstood the title of this popular song.
When you're here in person and realize what a common site this is, the
song's title starts to make sense.

Search YouTube or iTunes for great versions of the song "Loch Lomond" by the great Scottish band Runrig.

Fairy Trail, Carrick golf course, Loch Lomond

A nice little wooded trail next to one of the fairways.

Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond. It's not just a tiny hamlet in southwest Arkansas.

Located on the northeast side of Loch Lomond, it's nearly three thousand feet tall.

Cameron House

Sampling a blonde ale in the Cameron bar, reading a interesting book, and enjoying the loch view.

Kilts

A cool thing about kilts is that when you're not wearing them you can put them on the wall for art. I tried this with my jeans but it just didn't seem to work.

A canal stroll

We walked to Uxbridge from the Brunel campus to meet Scarlett and JohnD as they returned from Bruges.

After a disappointingly mediocre dinner at a pub recommended by the bed and breakfast host where Scarlett and JohnD are staying (the breakfast at the B&B was even worse than the pub he recommended), we strolled along the Cowley canal on the way back to the campus.
