πͺ The Mirror Man β Still
A mirrored human figure stands in the shallows of Loch Earn, reflecting the water, the mountains, and the sky around it. Created by Scottish sculptor Rob Mulholland. It has no fixed expression, no solid colour, no permanent appearance β it becomes whatever surrounds it.
Depending on the light it nearly disappears into the loch. In certain conditions it looks like a person made of water and cloud. The kids will stop and stare. So will you. It's on the A85 heading northwest β a perfect stop before Glencoe.

Once you're past Loch Lomond the Highlands begin properly and Highland cattle are everywhere. Best spots to stop:
π Rannoch Moor (A82) β wide open bogland, cattle often graze freely near the road
π Glen Etive road β slow single-track, easy to stop. Cows often wander close
π Glencoe Valley (A82) β near the visitor centre. Almost guaranteed sightings in summer
πΏ They're very calm. Alex can get close β they'll remember him π
