Lost in Scotland. . . for a while

Well, the other night we couldn't find out B&B.  The address was "Gartmore, near Aberfoyle".  That's it.  It got dark, it was raining, I was in unknown territory driving on the left side of the road.  We finally gave up and just stayed at the first B&B we could find.  But YESTERDAY we found out that the old Neilson Parish Church (dating from the 1500's) was an outgrowth of Paisley Abbey nearby, which dates from the 1100's.  We drove up to Paisley Abbey and. . . .Oh. My.   There's not much more I can say.  The place is fabulous!  And the organ is stunning.  Bringing pictures back for our church organist.  Some attached here.  It's late, and we're taking the Harry Potter steam train (the Jacobite Express) out to the coast and back tomorrow.  Will attach pictures after we return tomorrow night.  Should be fun!
