But I was more intrigued to read about a little bit of geological history that had escaped me until now. It seems the Highland Boundary Fault, stretching from the Isle of Arran to Stonehaven actually runs through this exact spot at Conic Hill. Formed millions of years ago, the Fault separates Scotland into the lowlands and highlands.
I discovered a few other interesting historical facts about the area, but more about those at a later date. I wouldn't be suprised if one of my novels is eventually set around Loch Lomond as it's one of the most romantic places in Scotland. So far I've only set one scene there, but every time I visit I come back with new ideas!

That's very interesting, Rosemary. The more of your posts I read, the more determined I am to visit Scotland one day :-) x
And I do hope you manage to get here, Teresa!
Looks a wonderful place to visit, especially with all that history.
Thanks for commenting, Carol- the whole area is beautiful, with the Loch just below this hill.
Did a double take there. For a moment, I thought it said, "Bahamasª. Just as interesting, though!
Hello Jenny - thanks for popping over. Think I'd rather be in Scotland than the Bahamas!
