United KingdomWas macht man in Inverness wenn man Loch Ness schonmal gesehen hat und drin baden war. Ich dachte mir eine motorisierte Schlauchboottour ist nicht verkehrt. Hat sich gelohnt mit 50mph über die Wellen zu sausen. Man wird hier auch dick eingepackt wegen Nässe und Wind. Eigentlich sollte es eine "Delphine glotzen" Tour werden. Aber da die Delphine keinen Bock hatten, ist der Skipper einfach mal mitRead more

Entered the Highlands...so so nice
Along Loch Lomond (walked around Luss), through Glencoe and on to Fort William (all spectacular views)... We caught chair lift up Nevis range
Love this area
And saw a highland cow today (yey!)
Ash PrakashYou look so at home alongside that breathtaking scenery! Such a bonny lass!
United KingdomMan merkt eindeutig das man immer weiter in schwach besiedelte Regionen hinein fährt. Das bedeutet für mich das ich immer weniger Möglichkeiten zum Auffüllen der Vorräte habe. Aber hat auch einen Vorteil: kaum noch Autos unterwegs. Morgen gehts weiter bis an die Nordküste Schottlands. Nach Bettyhill.
United KingdomNach gut 60km die Nordsee wieder erreicht. Noch 20km und ich bin am Ziel für heute. Ich kann diese Strecke auf jeden Fall empfehlen (bei günstigen Bedingungen). Ist supergeil durch Niemandsland zu sausen. Keine Stadt, kein Dorf und nur Landschaft.
United KingdomWe had a big drive today taking in some beautiful scenery and sights. We saw the old steam train used in the Harry Potter movies; Neptune's staircase, a staircase loch comprising 8 lochs on the Caledonian Canal; the Glenfinnan viaduct and monument; Eilean Donan Castle and some hairy Highland cattle.
United KingdomBig driving day- first stop was Neptunes Staircase- a series of 8 loch to take boats from Fort William to the Caledonian Canal (a very long process), then out to the Glenfinnan Viaduct -used in Harry Potter as well as the steam train that travels along that line (known as the Jacobite Train). There is also a monument there & info on Bonnie Prince Charles. Headed through some beautiful country toRead more
United KingdomWe caught the ferry from Uig, Isle of Skye to Tarbert on the Isle of Harris this morning. Lovely calm crossing and great scenery. From there we took the scenic route to our accommodation for the next three nights at Garrabost on the Isle of Lewis. See my next post for Isle of Harris and Isle of Skye favourites.
United KingdomLeft Glasgow this morning to drive to Fort Williams in the highlands. Lunch stop at beautiful Luss on the 'Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond', then onward into the highlands via Glen Coe. It was a cold wet day!
United KingdomI got my first glimpse of the Scottish Highlands as we drove towards Fort William. Somehow the drizzle made for a better first impression with the mist drifting in and out of view. Beautiful! We took a gondola ride up the Nevis Range mountain resort where we were optimistically thinking we would see Ben Nevis, UK's highest peak, but it was never going to happen. Even if we had hiked the 2hourRead more
United KingdomBeautiful Inverness at the top of the Highlands. On the journey up Loch Ness we detoured into Glen Afflic to visit the Plodda Falls. Next day on to the battle field on Culloden Moor, over to the east coast to Aberdeen & down to Perth.
