We couldn’t go to Scotland without taking a boat trip on Loch Ness. Our trip headed towards Urquhart Castle.

Melissa drove the boat, Sarah had a turn too.

Has Sarah really spotted the Loch Ness monster?

Can you see the Loch Ness monster in the background? Clue: It's purple and on the shore.
We also stopped at Fort Augustus to see the long series of locks which bring the boats up and down stream.

The locks in Fort Augustus are really impressive and quite quick.
Happy Wordless Wednesday.

I hope you get too! Scotland is awesome.
You had a beautiful day for it! When we visited it was a cold misty October day which added to the mysterious atmosphere.

We did have great weather in Scotland, but it was freezing and rainy in London for us.

That would be pretty exciting.
I envy you Rhonda.. so many time we’ve tried to travel to Scotland but we always failed to, because of some personal circumstances that we have to attend. My friend have been there, and she told me that it is a best place to visit.

It was good fun – even if there was not Nessy, or was there?
Seeing all your pictures and the lovely weather makes me proud to have Scotland for my home, I am so glad your family got to see as much as you did.
