Famous Landmarks!

I've long been delighted and impressed that the people who read my journal originate from far and wide. What I'd love is for you to comment below, and tell me which region/country you are from. And I'd love if you could add to that one particular thing that makes your part of the world unique. It might be music, a TV show, a recipe, a landmark, a specific historical fact. Anything you are proud of, whether other people might be aware of it or not.

Ok, I will give you a couple of items from where I live in Dumbarton. We do get a lot of tourists, especially by the lochs and Bens, so just a couple and pictures behind the cut.


First, in Dumbarton is Dumbarton Castle on Dumbarton Rock!

Mary Queen of Scots was the most famous person to have stayed.

Now, for our other famous landmark Loch Lomond.




There is so much history around Loch Lomond, I couldn't find just the right site to link to. This is taken from Ben Lomond, and shows some of the 22 islands on the loch.


Anyone else?
