Dear All Greetings from Loch Ness! Yay!! This is probably Scotland’s most famous lake, and also one of the most famous lakes in the world. This is actually my second time here, as it was also in Inverness a couple of days ago. I believe I mentioned in my first blog entry for this trip, that 20 years ago, I made one of my first backpacking trips to this part of the world for three nights, to get... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Apparently, this is where Nessie gets out of the water. Though what is that water disturbance at the bottom...?! I think it might be the ripples created by the RIB which was there earlier, but maybe not...?!

Travel memories and more
Once bitten by the travel bug there is not a cure. ... fortunately. Loving Loch Ness now and then- great memories. You've had a masters level history course while here. I'm glad you've enjoyed the places you stayed and got some peace.

Travel Memories
Indeed, I could say Loch Ness is where it all began for me. They say travel is a great educator - I would agree with that. I have appreciated the peaceful places.

Very Interesting History
Very interesting history at Culloden, Alex. It must be quite moving to visit the battlefield and see the memorial clan cairns. Scotland looks beautiful - definitely want to visit one day!

History
Thanks Lori. Yes, I agree, Scotland has some very interesting history, which I had not known much about before my trip. It was certainly moving to be at the Culloden Battlefield. I do recommend a trip to Scotland if you're interested in visiting. Thank you for reading my blog ?

I visited Inverness in the 90-ies
When I studied at the university in the 90-ies a friend and I went to Scotland for a few days. We then visited Inverness just because we wanted to see Loch Ness. As I've always known, you've now shown that there is more to see in that region than the famous lake. CC look interesting. /Ake

Inverness
Ah, indeed, Inverness and Loch Ness are on many itineraries to Scotland. They are super attractions, but indeed, there is much more to see when you scratch beneath the tourist surface.

I love the masonry bridges, aqueducts and viaducts
I absolutely love the British masonry bridges, aqueducts and viaducts. One of the finest of them all, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, I have actually steered a boat across. /Ake

Aqueducts
Wow, that doesn't happen every day! I imagine steering a boat across an aqueduct is no easy task. Pronouncing its name seems even more difficult!!
