Inchmahome Priory

From the Lake of Menteith (called "lake" not "loch" due to a mistranslation from Gaelic), 3 miles east of Aberfoyle, a ferry takes visitors to these substantial ruins. It's best to book ahea as capacity is limited. Mary, Queen of Scots was kept safe here as a child during Henry VIII’s "Rough Wooing." Henry attacked Stirling, trying to force Mary to marry his son in order to unite the kingdoms.
