Wednesday's Drive

We headed off Skye early Wednesday morning to make our way to Grantown on Spey, located in the Highlands. Our drive took us past more castles...imagine that...beautiful mountain landscapes and lochs. Our first stop was at the the castle used in the movie Highlander. That's one of my favorite movies so we had to stop if just for a photo. This is the ultimate castle, surrounded by water with a stone bridge that would have been heavily guarded. I'd feel safe here!



We marveled at the landscape as it opened up to snow covered hills but didn't stop for any photos. We were headed to spot Nessie. Yes, our next stop was Loch Ness. Most of the sightings of the Lock Ness Monster are by the ruins of the castle. We looked and looked by no Nessie. The loch is 24 miles long and 2 miles wide, much bigger than I expected. Check out the pictures and look to see if you can spot something!







It's time for breakfast so I'll be back to blogging later today.
