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. We also checked the tour boat boards and found that there ...
Loch Ness
We arrived at our accommodation after driving through the Highlands and plenty of snow. The Highland Club is an old converted Abbey . We were in the old school house in self contained accommodation but with access to the old Abbey and its surrounds.

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. We drove by a few really beautiful Lochs, where the air just felt so fresh and clean. In a matter of minutes, we could be ...
