I had so much fun on this day out back in August driving round Loch Ness and seeing the sights close by. Even if the weather was a little overcast, the chance of seeing a monster more than made up for it. I started the day off by travelling to Fort Augustus via Castle EileanContinue reading “Travelling in Scotland: What to do on a day out at Loch Ness and Fort Augustus”
