The trip included breathtaking views of the misty vistas carved from ancient glacial paths and gorgeous lakes that stretched further down deep river basins.
Of course, the main highlight was a 1-hour ferry cruise around Loch Ness!
Pictures just don't seem to do it justice when I look back at my photos, but they are going to be wonderful stories to tell when I return stateside!
There were so many castles along the trip! One of them I took a picture of right on Loch Ness, Urqhart Castle.
Some castles were abandoned and left for ruin. Others are still maintained with a lot of funding. We even passed by many sites of famous battles, like William Wallace (Braveheart, anyone?). Also, a lot more history on some famous royals, like the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots.
This whole day has been a wonderful opportunity to see this country away from the bustling city. I always love seeing rolling hills and towering mountains, much like home.
If only I could take Nessie home with me!
