Nessie
G and I got up early this morning and walked the 200 meters into the township. It was a challenge as the roads and footpaths were quite icy and dangerous. G was particularly keen to see the lock, not the loch, it is a series of five gates at increasing heights that allow the boats to continue from the Loch into the river system, as the water is flowed from one to the other.

Sudden stop when we see an impressive castle ruin on Loch Alsh near Dornie. Great ...

The largest group size they have is 16, so it's not an awfully large sized cattle car type tour. It was more personalized as well because it was smaller. Once we had introduced each other, there were people from Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, France, America and little ...
