Again a sunny mornings drive down, this time down to Oban and then across to Balloch (Loch Lomond.) Back to the same site we went to on the first night. Not much choice in this area.
We revisit the old derilict house adjacent to the campsite and read up about its sad recent history of neglect. Woodbank house, Balloch (Grade A listed) has stood empty after two fires in the 1980's and the owner refusing to sell or carry out their legal obligation to maintain the property.
The roof and floors have all fallen in and the back wall has been demolished and it is evident that recent work has been carried out around the site.
It looks like finally Woodbank House will be saved by the local council and turned in to a leasure/ Tourist information centre as it is adjacent tourist complex at Loch Lomond Shores.
