SCOTLAND ~ Loch Lomond - The Trossachs National Park ~

... Breathtaking and stunning nature views... at the heart of the park is Loch Lomond itself....  Britain's largest freshwater lake,.... it’s the perfect place to visit for hillwalking, climbing and boat trips....,this NP is home to the world’s largest grouse, the Capercaillie... It’s so popular because 50% of Scotland’s population live within an hour of the area... with nice purple "thistle" stamp, the floral symbol of Scotland... I can't thank you enough dear Andrene for all these amazing NP \_(♥‿♥)_/ (it took almost a month to cross the Channel  o͜͡o)
