Highland...ness (Yargh!)

So Scotland is pretty awesome. Since I last updated, when we were in Edinburgh, we've been up to Loch Ness and Inverness, then from there further north-west to the Isle of Lewis and the Callanish Standing Stones, which are 5,000 years old and very mysterious, and then down to the Isle of Skye... and then... um.. Ben Nevis!
And then... Glasgow!

So.

Loch Ness is pretty cool. It's nice and vast, you can really see why it has bred such intrigue and mystery. Urqhart Castle (the castle on the shores of Loch Ness) is a bit less exciting though. It's just a little bit too ruinous - you can't really make out what it would have been like to be in the castle when it was whole, which is what I like about ruins. Interestingly, this is easier to do in ruins than in well maintained castles, often because well maintained ones have been renovated, and messed with, and you know, changed from the original design.
We didn't see the monster, but I got some cool photos...

Errr I have to go now... Never enough time on the internet. And that's a lesson well learned, kids - never leave home without your laptop!

I hope you're all well! :)
