Where to start...where to start? Well, I'll start with yesterday since that's where I left off. I woke up and off we headed down Loch Ness for more seeing of sights. We did make a quick photo stop at one point along the lake, so the above picture is me with me feet in Loch Ness. Squint and you might see the famous Nessie. But probably not. From there it gets a little fuzzy. I think it means you've been travelling too long if you start forgetting what happened the same day it actually happened. Well, anyways, the next thing my camera shows we did was head to the battlefield of the battle of Culloden. That might mean something or nothing to you, it depends how much history you know. I can't quite remember why this place was so important, I just know that it was. Really important. Like, changed the face of history important. But I can't remember exactly why. Next we stopped at a prehistoric grave site, which really looked more like a pile of rocks now, but the rocks look like they actually have a purpose. They're in a circle with a path to the center and a small circle in the center you can stand in. Smelled a little funny in the center, though. After that we went to Fort William, which is still a working English military base. It wasn't particularly interesting. We capped off the evening ending up at a castle that's been converted to a hostel. It was actually given to the hostelling association by the family that owned it, and the get to keep it as long as they continue to use it as a hostel.
That's it in the picture above. It was an actual castle! Complete with awful pictures and nudy marble statues. It's also supposed to have been haunted. Pretty cool. A big group of us all went out that night to the "local" pub, which we learned this morning was opened specifically for us. We had a pretty good night, made even better when a couple lovely boys in kilts showed up and played the bagpipes for us. Ahh, kilts. Insert smile here. It was awesome!

This morning we started out on the road again and made many stops to take pictures. Other than the picture stops we didn't do much except stop at Eilan Donnen Castle for a quick tour. It's apparently been in many movies, most recently "Made of Honor" with Patrick Dempsey. I might have to actually see that one now.
Now we're on the Isle of Skye for the evening, and the local pub with live music is beckoning, so I'm signing off for now. Until later!
