Scotland Day 2: Exploring the Highlands

Bright and early (or so it seemed after less than a good night’s sleep) we walked to the meet up point in Inverness for a mini bus tour of the Highlands.

A little workout first thing in the morning on the way to the meet up point

First stop was Loch Ness but alas, no monster sightings, just calm beauty

Loch Ness all bright and beautiful- not quite how I pictured it in my head

We made another stop or two for bathroom breaks and to take in the scenery. I was feeling quite nauseous at this point with the lack of sleep and windy roads so we got a bottle of water at a little shop in a small little village.

One of the main highlights for the day was the Eilean Donan castle and the cherry on top was the bag piper as we left

There was a spontaneous stop for a “cow jam” because everyone loves Highland cows!

Took in the views at Sligachan

For lunch we stopped in the seaside town of Portree. I was not entirely satisfied with my choice of lunch which was a glob of smoked salmon on a few pieces of lettuce, a couple slivers of onions and one cherry tomato but that was probably my fault for not looking up what Assiette of Salmon was . Portree itself was cute and had that “by the sea” feel.
