Wandering Cloud
July 23, 2021, Scottish National Trail - Day 6 add-on: Linlithgow Loch

This is an addition to Day 6, but not exactly on the trail. Linlithgow Loch is very pretty and it pays to walk around it - less than 3 miles - to get lovely views of the Linlithgow Castle on one of its sides and of the apparently man-made islands that used to have piers running to them from the shores. This is simply a stroll, of course, rather than a hike.
