Lago Aros

I've got used to the parks, lakes and other natural areas here in Scotland, but Lake Aros is truly surprising and interesting. The walk around the lake is undeniably beautiful, following a circular loop along the banks, between trees, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views. When we went it was completely silent except for the gentle noise of raindrops hitting the surface of the water ... incredible. Legend has it that the younger daughter of a wealthy family was snubbed by her lover beside a small pond and began to mourn. In the morning, the girl was dead and the pond had become a lake, formed by her tears.
