Scotland

Day 3

Glencoe, Fort william, Ben Nevis and Loch Ness



Today we headed off on our travels, and we were up nice and early. The first place on the list to see was Glencoe.  This place is utterly amazing, the mountains and sceneray are arguably some of the best in the uk, if not europe.  You have the landscape around Ranoch moor, which looks like something out of lord of the rings.  Then you have the Lush greenery, the place is amazing. (Panaramic shots thanks to Claire!)

After travelling through Glencoe we headed into Fort William.  This is one place in the UK I have always wanted to visit.  Although, when i got there I was very disappointed.  It was a very tacky run down place with very little to see and do.  To add insult to injury we were vastly over charged for a scrambled egg and ham bun.

Nex we went to Ben Nevis, which involved a cable car ride.  To say claire was scared was a understatement (Claire wud like to add that it was only 5 mins of hand crushing!).  After 15 min of hand crushing from claire we reahed the top (well as far as the cable car would go).  We Then went on two30 min walks to 2 viewing points, and we got drenched .  May I just point out that my legs were hurting very badly from the walk yesterday.

We passed urqhart castle on route to the Bed And Breakfast place.

We eventually arived at the pottery house,  the room was amazing and just what we needed after a couple of hard days slumming it in the wigwams.

In the evening we went to the Dores Inn, which served the most amazing food. So good in fact we booked in again for wednesday night.
