Well, today was a bit of a mixed bag. We started by heading over to Kilravock Castle but there was no one there. I did get to take a couple of photos of the building and grounds but it wasn't particularly impressive. I have to admit that Sue's castle was more impressive.
After lunch we headed down the loch to Fort Augustus. While we will be going that way in the morning we won't have time for sight seeing as we need to get from Inverness to Fort William by 10:00am. Loch Ness is quite an impressive expanse of water.
Here are some of the photos we took today.

It is quite a bit smaller than Blair Castle but it does have a Keep, something that Blair Castle doesn't.

There was more to see but we had trouble finding places to pull over to take the shots.
Tomorrow we have a train to catch in Fort William and that's also where we will stay the night.

Looks really lovely. I have just worked out..( I think) how to leave comments.
ReplyDeleteI have come up with rather a neat plan I think.
I will tell Dave that after seeing all your photos of Scotland & England, that I think I would like an overseas trip afterall... After he gets over the shock of that... I will then tell him, that I would settle for 3 weeks in Tasmania... I think I therefore would have a pretty good chance of getting to Tassie again, as a compromise!!..hehehe
