Rogie fallsRogie fallsRogie falls

We followed a group and we walked across this suspension bridge over these beautiful falls.
During the week over 8 days we drove approximately 1000 miles. Each day took us in a different direction, on new very narrow roads. We took time to make numerous stops to see the wonderful sites of the Highlands. We were amazed by the green of the hills, the many miles of large Locks of water, the falls that we saw. We had a wonderful dinner in Invermoriston. The rest of the family took in the MacNeil festival event. Arlene and I went for a walk by the falls, almost getting lost in the forest although we were really not far from the entrance. We should have dropped bread crumbs as we walked. It all looks the same in the forest. We then took care of the 2 girls for a bit during the performance. What a nice day. What a wonderful view and stop of the Lock Ness. So massive. Yo could understand the mystery of the Lock Ness Monster. We stopped at the Lock Ness centre. How neat is this. At the village of Dornie, I went for an early morning walk taking my camera with me, taking wonderful pictures of beautiful houses, beautiful gardens, beautiful water scapes. Also,

The stumps were all covered with moss on the walk to Rogie Falls
the beautiful Eilean Donan Castle is in close viewing distance from our rental Red house. Outside our windows you could see the beautiful low clouds decend on the hills and mountains. What a tremendously beautiful site.
