Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle and Inverness

---

After breakfast, again at the Isle of Skye Baking Co., we headed back to the mainland on our way to Loch Ness. Rain and heavy traffic slowed us down and we arrived at Urquhart Castle after 11:30, so we decided to come back to it after our cruise on Loch Ness. It turned out we could upgrade our cruise tickets to include a stop at the castle for less than the price we would have had to pay to see the castle.



It drizzled a bit as we began our cruise, but cleared shortly after getting underway. We even enjoyed seeing a rainbow as we neared the castle. The castle dates back to 1509 and is now just ruins, but still picturesque. Loch Ness is beautiful. Nessie, however, did not show.



After cruising back to our car, we drove to the Culloden Battle grounds and then to Clava Cairns, which are the prehistoric burial cairns of Bulnuaran of Clava, a group of 3 Bronze Age cairns and standing stones.
