e entries for our 2010 calendar. Weather conditions were perfect and some exceptional photos were achieved. On completion of our photo shoot we walked along the no
n tourist route to The Royal Cottage which was purposely built for Queen Victoria when she came to open Loch Katrine Reservoir in 1859 and then subsequently used by Glasgow councillors as a holiday home. On our way there we detoured to see a water outlet from Loch Arklet with stunning waterfalls cascading over man-made steps. We were saddened to see on our arrival at the royal cottage that it is now in a state of disrepair, but discovered a beautiful jetty and boathouse next to a dramatic egress of water from Loch Katrine to tunnels which then flow steadily towards Mugdock holding pools 26 miles south near Milngavie and from here it is dispersed to the households of the Greater Glasgow area and beyond.
