Another boat trip! But this time, if I remember well, only 15 minutes from the pier to the island, in a little boat, this time. This Priory is property of Historic Scotland so, again, membership! and like Isle of May, is closed during winter; you can only go there from April to September.

We went there in summer it could be quite chilly, so just in case take a jacket! The trip to the Isle was nice, very similar to Loch Leven cruise, same boat and same distance more or less, but the island is very different! It’s like a little ancient woodland, gorgeous! I really love it (I must confess that we went there three times :P). Maybe, the ruins of the priory were the less impressive, in this occasion, because the rest of the island is amazing! You are completely surrounded by gigantic and elderly trees and it’s lovely :)

Back home we decided to take the long way road, passing by Aberfoyle, and, lucky us, we saw from the distance some cars stopped in the middle of the road, and we didn’t know why, but, at the end of the road we discovered the reason of that amount of cars, highland cows!! Wow, It was the first time that we saw them so close! And they were very friendly, they wanted us to pet them!! We couldn’t resist that and neither the opportunity to take some photos! So cute!!
