Locks on the Caledonian Canal at the southern end of Loch Ness. Fascinating to watch the locks lift a sailboat and a pleasure cruiser from the level of Loch Ness to the river above.

A soft morning. Lidia slept in while I had breakfast watching a fly fisherman try his luck wading in the Ness River.

Pub closet to our hotel. Had a tasty Fish & Chips. There’s only a few tables indoors and a few on the patio where you can eat. Staff is a bit brisk but very polite as they hustle about.

Matkaaja Possibly the one of the oldest castles in Scotland? It’s a ruin, but laid out in an excellent fashion with lots of information posted about the grounds. Perched right on the shore of Loch Ness (yes, THAT Loch Ness), there are beautiful views of the Loch and surrounding countryside. Fascinating. Perfect weather!

The actual site of what’s left of the fort is in a waterfront park next to the train station. The old gate still exists but was moved to the entrance of a local graveyard. Had to come here becauseLue lisää

The “Hogwart’s Express” is actually the Jacobite Steam train that runs from Glenfinnan to Malaig. The Viaduct is that famous arched bridge the train passes over in the movie.

Matkaaja Out for a days hike. Took the first half of the loop of a lovely trail to a small lake at the foot of a hill. Started the second half of the trail unaware that the second half was listed as “strenuous” until we were pretty much clambering hand and foot up a steep slope. Sean and Kaitlyn just happened to come up (much more quickly) behind us and the decision was made for Lidia and I to turn around and go back the way we came. A good decision because the trail still had some more demanding sections before clambering back to the lodge.
