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.

I think it is now a museum. I walked into town ...
Day 4 - Invernarnan to Kingshouse - (21'ish miles)
... of the track as it's beautiful down there too, but I'll have to save that one for next time.
Just past the forest lodge there is a gate warning that there is no campsite for 10 miles along the Drover's road and also a message saying "please keep to the track", another flash back of "An American werewolf in London" pops into my head.
The path climbs gently for about 2 miles and once I can see that I have climbed the worst of it and as I leave the ...
