My wife came along to do the driving and do some sight seeing.  We met up every night.
My wife at Balloch Castle grounds, with a box containing some of her parents' ashes, they Honeymooned here in October of 1944.

My wife performing her last duty as a daughter.
Her mother wanted to go home. She took some of both of them to where they honeymooned during WWII, and sprinkled them in Loch Lomond.
And now for the fun part of the trip!

The Tullie Inn.
An evening wander around Balloch.  Someone isn't a very good sailor...
There are walking trails all over the UK!
Time for a nightcap, back at The Tullie Inn, and a chat with a Scottish 'Leonard Hofstadter'
The next day consisted of a 6 hour drive from Balloch Scotland, to
Welton, in the Yorkshire Wolds, to begin my next adventure.
We checked into The Green Dragon in Welton, where this was painted on the wall outside the door to the pub.
A wander around Welton after dinner, took us to St. Helen's Church.
We landed in Glasgow, Scotland, and drove to Balloch.
 We had one final favor to do for my wife's parents, before we could enjoy our trip.
These are ricepaper butterflies!
