We headed north today to the Scottish Highlands, enjoying views of many of the lochs (lakes), and stopping at Glencoe, where the Scottish scenes in Skyfall were filmed, my favorite Bond movie. Then on to Fort Augustus, a charming Highland village on the banks of Loch Ness. We had a picnic lunch next to the Caledonian Canal, then a relaxing cruise on the lake, of course searching for the Loch Ness Monster. On the trip back to Edinburgh we stopped at the quaint town of Pitlochry, then Queensferry to view the spectacular Forth Bridge.
Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries I have visited, with magnificent snowcapped mountains, tree covered hills, open moors, flowing rivers, blue lochs, and green pastures, forests, and glens. The loch shores are dotted with small villages and towns, and the pastures and glens are home to sheep, cattle, and deer.
