day 8, part 1, Fort William to Urquhart Castle

This is a view of Ben Nevis I took the night before, on our way back to Fort William from Glenfinnan:


Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles, at 1400 feet, and the summit is only a few miles walk from sea level. If you look closely, the mountain on the right shows some cloud between a lower peak and the actual top of Ben Nevis. That's pretty near the actual summit. Note the fresh snow. The next morning, it was brighter than it was for this pic, but the clouds were lower.

( 30 photos, in which we see locks, bridges, lochs and a somewhat famous castle )

day 8, part 2, north of Inverness

After Urquhart Castle, we headed on northeast, up Loch Ness, through Inverness (without stopping), and eventually saw a sign for Dalmore distillery. We stopped there to see what we could see.



( distilleries, a castle, lighthouses and the sea )

Silly Walk
