Description

The next day: a little aching muscles from the descent. So I decided to visit Inverness at well known Loch Ness. Perhaps I have the luck to catch a view onto Nessy the Kelpie! ;o) Still nice and sunny weather like the whole week. It would have been no long trip if there where highways like I'm used. But in scotland there aren't: only two lanes. So it took 3 hours to get to Inverness and that was the reason I always was in stressing situations. Get up at 7 a.m., hurry to get somewhere, hiking up a hill in hurry, not enough time to enjoy, darkness will come, hurry down the hill. Long way to drive back, arriving the apartement mostly at 11.30 in the night, hurry with shower, eating and preparing for the next day! Bedtime at 1 or 2 in the morning. Next day the same - and that all in my vacation! LOL The way along Loch Ness was boring, nothing special to be seen. Not far from Inverness you will pass Urquart Castle, from where "Nessy" often had been seen. In the 6th Century Urquart Castle was a seat of Pictish kings. The current castle was built around the 14th Century and blown up in the 18th. I didn't visit, because the entrance was to expensive and there where to many tourists. I took this shot from the upper parkingplace and so the result isn't very successful. You and all comments are welcome always!

Perhaps the rimples in the water are caused by Nessy? ;~) Great shot of a beautiful place where i've been twice. Scotland is so beautiful.
