Inverness, where my father and I spent the first half of this trip. |
| Loch Ness, as seen from above castle ruins on the shore. |
 |
 |
That's me, cruising down Loch Ness and hunting for signs of a monster. |
| Yes! It's the wee beastie herself!! OK, it's actually a fake, sitting in a large puddle outside the Loch Ness Institute. |
 |
 |
Me in the coastal village of Oban. |
| And that's my Pop, same wee town. |
 |
 |
Enough of Old Home Week! Dad and I BOTH in Oban. |
| Mass graves for fallen highlanders on the eerie, tear-soaked fields of Culloden. |
 |
 |
Our day on Skye. This is some of the wildlife living offshore of this amazing island. |
| Dad, changing film on Skye. In the background, you can see the controversial Skye Bridge being built. |
 |
 |
Still on Skye. I think this speaks for itself. |
| And that's me, rambling through the wilds of Skye. |
 |
 |
Time to head to the big city, Glasgow. |
| Yup, that's a mighty big city. Beautiful old architecture, too. |
 |
 |
Me again, searching for shells and pebbles on Arran Island (which is not to be confused with the Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland). |
| A new view of the Edinburgh Castle, taken from the top of the Walter Scott Monument. |
 |
 |
And a skyline view of Edinburgh's Old Town, also from the Walter Scott Monument. I've been in Edinburgh three times, and this was the ONLY time the monument was open. |
