Our eldest takes the lead, intrepid and fearless as we approach the home straight, the hotel in sight. Packed lunches all but depleted, water bottles spent. Only the dream of a cool fizzy drink and a dip in the pool drives him on. I’m a single malt man myself. I shift down a gear and take the lead, only to be passed by mum who’s decided her need for a chilled Sauvignon Blanc is greater. True love awaits the mountain peddler at Cameron House on Loch Lomond.
