Undeterred,i'm taking a run up the Straiton Road for a look at Loch Bradan just over the county border in South Ayrshire.


Walking boots on i head upwards to a scenic viewpoint at a spot called Pedens Hut.

Panorama of Lochs Bradan and Skelloch on CleVR.com
Time to try and get a decent panorama.
After a while,and a couple of light drizzly showers i headed back to the car.
Taking a run up to Balloch Lodge and over to the dam on Loch Bradan i decided to call it a day.
Apparently this is a forest drive to take you over to Lochs Riecawr and Doon and emerge near Dalmellington on the A713,so that's for another day.
