Nature

There are several beautiful sylvan walks in the neighbourhood. One of these is that which leads by the little freshwater lake, Lochenloskin, to Dunoon. Lochenloskin is the favourite haunt of the waterlily, where absolutely acres of the surface are covered with the snow-white blossoms of the plant.
