Day 5- We load up and head south toward Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. The A9 is one of the most beautiful, and scenic roads in all of Scotland. The trip South in itself is worth the travel time. We will have the option to stop at Urquart Castle ruins in the shores of Loch Ness. The Scots believe that if you dip your feet in the loch it brings you luck.. so get down to the shore and take off your shoes! Who doesn’t need some luck? There is a great stop for lunch, tea and souvenirs as well as some great historical books and information on the Grants that inhabited Urquhart Castle and how it came to be a ruin (pronounced “erkit”). Lunch will be on your own. We will then continue our trek south stopping at our lodging near Stirling.

Join me for this year’s invasion of the Highlands of Scotland!
