Scotish Highlands ...

[stiz]

... or rather a little bit of them!!

Finaly got around to getting one of the cameras download, heres the best of the best.

Heres the cottage we stayed in, think the area was called new bridge, aout 6/7 miles from spean bridge and a good 20 from fort william

Heres loch locky, which we had a private beech with private access down a path (dogs loved it!!)

Ben Nevis range from the Commando memorial, really is a great place for a memorial, deffenitly worth a vist if you go.

a bit of the way up ben nives looking up the glen:

mountins!

Nessies in there somewhere!!

looking the other way:

nice little place on between nessie and inverness:

alf way up a mountin:

nice little castle, didnt go in as we had the dogs with us and where going up to the isle of sky, which was still a way to gos

to be continued ....

A battle took place here, not a place i would have like to have fought!

and a nice little valley:

Tell him he is right and as soon as you can see the movie.

It really was good.

If you had not brought along the waterproof stuff, you would have been soaked. Whenever I go into New York, I always bring an umbrella to make sure that the sun will shine.....

Beautiful photos Stiz. Now I know where the missing parts of the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains went.

I will refrain from too much comment but, dear Stiz, Skye always has, and always will have , an 'e' on the end !

The castle, by the way is Eilan Donan. Or was until my American sister-in-law saw it. It is now officially called Katie's Castle.

And Stiz, I went to Scarborough once, It wasn't Fair. It pissed down for two days.....

Glad you had a nice trip. Next time you come up I'll tell you the real places to go.

Trust me it looks better in the rain, washes the dirt from the streets
