After a good night in Amanda Wimberley House a new Scottish rainy morning greets us.
We decide for a quick stroll in Inverness, hoping for the arrival of
the sun but the bad weather envelops the city in an misty atmosphere having the color of lead with no hope for a better weather.
So, we head southwards to the most famous of the Scottish lakes: Loch Ness.
Loch Ness is perhaps the summa of all mythical and legendary Scottish places because of the famous monster that lurks in the deep dark waters of the
lake; luckily we were able to meet him and make some photos with him before and after a couple of beers!!
Very satisfied of our photos with the monster (that for many centuries has been impossible to see!!) we pause to visit the picturesque
ruins of Urquhart Castle located on a rocky peninsula just a couple of miles from Drumnadrochit.
After lunch in the visitors' Centre we continue our march southward along Loch Ness and Loch Lochy down to Fort William from where we continue
to visit Glen Coe Village where we admire the Glen Coe; unfortunately the late hour prevents us from making a trip uphill and we just make a
quick stroll. Lovers of trekking please note that following the path you can reach the top of the mountain in about 5 hours without any particular difficulty.
From Glen Coe village we follow the scenic route of Loch Linnhe (the lights at sunset allow us to enjoy the fantastic colors of the loch)
back to Fort William and then to Roy Bridge where we stay for the night at Stronlossit Inn (not that good a hotel!!).
