East to wast highlands. Just so much more to a head around. Stunning majestic - hard to say more!

Nailed it. Loved it all. So pleased with
our wee tour and so easy being driven about with a dozen good value people from all over. The arms dealer is actually nice too. We seem to have covered a lot of ground and done heaps of new things. Despite yesterday’s rain we were not confident about the weather for today and were well prepared for rain but it’s turned out to be warm and sunny. Nonetheless am pleased with my planning wearing two merino layers and my puffer vest. We got to Loch Ness quite early and boarded a boat up the loch to an old fortified castle. Got a bit cold outside so we all took the advice of the guide and went inside and had a hot chocolate with “a dram”. Excellent advice and a well matched pair of flavours.

Today we co hour the castle.Read more
