I was looking along Loch Awe on Wednesday but streetview was playing up so I gave up.
I just caught up with this thread 10 minutes ago and found this while watching a penalty shoot out in the Scottish Premiership playoff!

Well done. Your turn.

I would say that the road is more to the W than to the N of the loch, especially when there actually is a road along the northern tip of the loch. Having said that, there is part of the loch south of where that picture was taken... :whistle:

No wonder I couldn't find it :blush:
You should have taken the advice of one wise contributor 2 days ago...

you can always cyber-stalk colin to find out where in Scotland he's been :ohmy:
Page 2 of the search results for 'loch ride' by ColinJ...

In case you would like to check it out on a map ... A828 to Connel, quiet road above Oban through Ardchonnel down to the A816 at Kilmore. Then southwards down the A816 to Kilmelford. I don't know how bad the traffic is on that road, but that road is the only way to get where I want to go. At Kilmelford I will be turning off onto the kind of quiet, scenic roads that I like to tackle ... Passing through forests beside Loch Avich then Loch Awe, through Inverinan and Annat to Kilchrenan on the on the B845. Up Glen Nant to Taynuilt on the busy A85. I intend to do just 1 mile on that road towards Connel before turning off and passing through Glen Lonan until I rejoin the road that I went out on in the morning, and then follow that back to Connel, then back on the A828.
:laugh:

The B6470 on the Ladykirk & Norham bridge bang on the border :becool:

Photo taken from the middle of the bridge so I could have denied I was in either Scotland or England. And no chance to use my clue about the village shop having neither cheese nor ham sandwiches.
Norham Castle on the far left of my photo.
Over to you @MontyVeda

I figured such a substantial bridge would have to cross a substantial river, and searching for castles in the Scottish Borders took me straight to the Tweed... so I started at Peebles and worked my way east. :okay:

This one should go in no time at all...

I can confirm that I've cycled those cobbles; that's my bike on the right.

Name that bike... I mean... street!

That shop reminds me a bit of "Yorkshire Trading Co" in Driffield. It's not Driffield, but if my wild guess is right it would be Yorkshire. But it probably isn't. It's probably t'other side of the Pennines!
