I'll Take The High Road

A happy, slightly soggy, highland fling
This is a top pick! ... seem to be getting longer already... Nessie Spotting I may not have been quick enough to snap her in her traditional home, Loch Ness, but the lucky people of Switzerland seem to have a relative in one of their alpine lakes and some quick-fingered ...
One of Those Days

In search of the rare, endangered Flying Haggis
This is a top pick! ... the brunt of every joke once word got around to Ped that, how to put this lightly?, she had an encounter with a one-eyed Loch Ness Monster the night before. The drive started in a heavy, gloomy fog that seemed foreboding for the day. But we climbed into ...
Nessie
This is a top pick! A visit to Loch Ness prompted much craziness. "Nesssssiee" was often said, in a Mr Freer (or heavy and bad Scottish) accent. Poses of us as Nessie, and fake pictures of Nessie (they were birds), discussions of HOW to get the best fake Nessie picture, ...
All the trout you can eat!

Tour has gone great
I finally got some time to sit down, we have been traveling quite a bit and are hardly ever at our hostel. I will give a recap on what I have managed to do and see in the last couple days. So, I started my tour in Edinburgh and got on a small 29 seater ...
Rethink
Well I didn't intend to drive so far today. It's hard to believe we started this morning on the north coast and now we're on the Road to the Isles. It's a bit mad actually because we've raced past quite a few things that deserved a proper look and that ...
1,000 miles!!
Alan has reached the 1,000 mile mark! By the time Alan made his hotel for the evening on day 15 of the cycle, he had passed the 1,000 mile barrier, with the comments "I'm feeling pretty good about reaching that marker!" There's an understatement for ...
Highlands Tour (Nathan)
... the boat service, there weren't that many references to Nessie. I had zero interest in going out monster-hunting, since the whole Loch Ness Monster myth lost all credibility for me when the famous "surgeon's photo" was admitted to be a hoax- before that ...
Edinburgh to Loch Ness
... she was able to give us all sorts of tales and myths. We then took an hour long boat ride on the black waters of Loch Ness. The boat is equipped with sensors that read the dimensions of anything in the waters below. Many people believe in Nessie and there ...

Skye High
It's official... Scotland is the most beautiful place on earth. Never mind that I havent actually seen all of the world. No need now. This morning began with a lovely breakfast of cereal and toast provided by the hostel. Then we all piled into the Haggis ...
British Isles Adventure
... we were about the same latitude as Oslo, and the major body of water just east of Scotland is the North Sea. That being said, Loch Ness was a disappointment in the sense that we didn't see Nessie, but much like the rest of the country, there was a ...
Wild & Sexy Scotland: Day 1
We started our bus tour on Friday morning driving from Edinburgh up to Loch Ness through the highlands. Our bus driver was hilarious and told us the stories and legends of the places we visited. First we drove towards Stirling, passing Linlithgow Palace ...
Loch Ness to Fort William
... the offical "Loch ness Monster Visitors Centre." I quite enjoyed the weird and somewhat unwholesome enthusiasm towards ensuring the whole loch ness monster myth stayed alive and well. All the stupid hype, cant help but have you gawking around looking for ...
Nessie at Loch Ness
... museum which was an interesting and entertaining museum about the history, legends, tests, rumours, and truths of Nessie, the infamous Loch Ness Monster. After learning of all the 'facts’, the science part of me knows there is no monster ...
Nessie Spotting
We saw her!! Or at least, we think we might've thanks to the handy binoculars we found on our hotels patio. It isn't every day that you get to Nessie spot during happy hour or over morning coffee. It was quite the unique experience. ...
My heart belongs to Scotland

This could be heaven
The other big walk that HVM did was over the Corrieyarrick from Laggan to Fort Augustus [ISA 7.1] and again we set out to see how far we can get in Beddie. The answer this time is quite a long way. And it's a beautiful run. The signs of civilisation are ...
Nessie Alert

Mad World
This morning Garva Bridge is if anything even more fabulous than it was yesterday evening. There is still absolutely no one here, even the sheep has naffed off and not being in a hurry to leave I settle down to read the rest of St Andrews Ghost ...
