Excerpt from The Scottish
Connection: “A little way out of Aberfoyle we found the lodge on the
Craigenveoch estate where my mother and family had lived. On warm, summer
evenings she, Jack and Ray leaned out of their bedroom windows, watching their
parents sing along with friends to gramophone music as they rowed across Loch
Ard. The loch was described by Sir Walter Scott as a ‘beautiful sheet of water
… a spacious mirror’.”
