Nessie
... Nessie tour happening at 1pm. Went back to the apartment and after breakfast explored around the Abbey a little more, found the monks burial ground at the back near the Loch behind some hedges, it was a little spooky even in the daylight. After lunch went around to the boat in the canal and thought we might be the only customers when all of a sudden 3 or 4 mini buses pulled up with tourists from Edinburgh , and then we were about ...

Our first stop was in a town called Callendar, very cute little town... Just a quick stop here for some coffee/ pies/ loo breaks. As we continued towards Glencoe, we passed through some really amazing scenery. The bodies of water are called Lochs here in Scotland, whereas we might call them lakes or rivers.
