So this week we decided to rent a car for the night and do a little tour of the highlands! We had some amazing weather, and some great sights. I had more to say before, but now I can't remember!! ha ha...Anyway, enjoy the photos!
Glen Coe:
A crazy sign at the start of the trails in Glen Nevis. Only slightly alarming, but I guess they have to make sure they cover everything:
Glen Nevis:
Ben Nevis - the highest mountain in the UK:
Urquhart Castle on the Loch Ness. It's really pretty up in this area of the highlands. Basically, as I've mentioned before, it's really sad that all the trees in this country have been cut down and somewhat replaced with artificial forests. But the further north you go, the more natural the forests are, and you can get a better sense of what the country was like hundreds of years ago.
The Loch Ness. One of the most beautiful lakes I've seen in this country so far.
Fort George - a fort built by the British after they won the battle at Culloden. The body of water is the North Sea. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the dolphins that apparently hang around.
We went for a free tour/tasting at the Glen Livet distillery. Here's the 750pound bottle of whisky they had for sale at the gift shop.
Scottish weather at its best:
