No Experience Required

The van peels away from Edinburgh’s stone facades and, within an hour, the city’s hum gives way to a widening sky. The road threads north along Loch Lomond, where glassy water dares the wind to stir it and roadside pines lean like old listeners. Stops are deliberate: a quick walk in Luss where a cafe steam whispers of baking, a courtyard pause in Inveraray framed by the castle’s whitewashed walls, and the small, odd church that looks out over Loch Awe.
