On the road

Urquhart Castle, on the shores of Loch Ness

We did in fact spend most of yesterday on the road. And except for the busier highway we took along the shores of Loch Ness to get here to Inverness, most of the driving consisted of cruising along single track roads, which has a rhythm of its own. See approaching car, flash lights if you're going to pull over, or if they flash their lights, you keep going and give a friendly wave as you pass. From my very informal survey, I'd put the percentage of folks giving the friendly wave at at least 85%.

Loch Ness is very narrow, very deep, and very long. We drove along it for what seemed like a long time before finally arriving in Inverness. And, with the foggy, gloomy weather, the whole drive was very atmospheric.

View from the restaurant where we had a delicious Indian dinner.
After, we walked a loop around the river Ness.

We've just had another quite heavy breakfast - including my first taste of haggis, upon which I pronounce thumbs up. And now back to the road - this time fast roads back to Edinburgh and our last day in Scotland.
