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.

On the way through the Highlands we stopped at a 12th century castle ruins. It was just the perimeter of the castle that remains, ...
