Foggy January day at Appletree Cottage

Foggy Day in Croftamie, Loch Lomond

Beautiful surroundings even in the fog

Today we woke up to find a dense fog surrounding Appletree Cottage and the farm.  The mist has started clearing now but still provides some great  atmospheric settings.

Usually, you can see for miles around Appletree Cottage.  Guests in the self-catering have views from the cottage across to the Kilpatrick Hills, four miles away.  Just around the corner from the cottage there are usually clear views of Conic Hill with the peak of Ben Lomond peeking above its horizon.  But not today

Usually a great view of distant Conic Hill with Ben Lomond peeking above its horizon. But not today.

Appletree Cottage faces south getting most of the sun all day.  The sun was just beginning to poke through when we took these photos

Looking south from Appletree Cottage - usually you can see for three to four miles.

The road from Appletree Cottage towards Croftamie. The road forms part of the John Muir Way which runs from Dunbar to Helensburgh and also part of Sustrans Cycle Route 7 which goes from Sunderland to Inverness. Ideal for both purposes due to the lack of motor traffic.

The mist begins to clear around the trees on the road outside Appletree Cottage
