Yeah I have to admit that damn girl annoyed me...in as much as her work was so good but since then I have worked harder on my pics and sold some so I have her to thank for that.
I will just say the it doesnt look far from Fort William but it is a long drive..just thought I would remind you.
Liked your image of the castle,I would have dodged and burnt a bit but we all have our own tastes and what suits me doesnt suit every one else..great thing about photography.
I have to say I think Loch Lomond is a waste of time.never seen many good shots of it which is an indication that you cant get to much of it.
There are a few pull ins..one near some restuarant come shop which is where some clan got slaughtered but if I had to cherry pic I would forget it.
There is a castle on Loch Ness but when I saw the size of the area where you turn into it with its car lanes and coach lanes I shuddered at the thought of the cost.We skipped that one.
On the east side of Loch Ness there is a water fall at a place called Foyers..or near it.
Not a long walk from the road but with limited parking near a shop and I think a hotel.
Quite a famous falls for some reason but I would only suggest it if you run out of ideas..bit of a joke that.
Above that at a place called Dores there is a little bay by a pub in the village with some Nessy crap there  ( I think a guy whos been there a trillion years hoping to see it..some one should tell him ) but if your that way its a good view down the loch although you would be shooting into the sun..thats another laugh..sun.
If you need to know anything else let me know.
Have a great trip.We are going to Glencoe in September...our fourth journey to Scotland.
