Friday – Loch Ness to Inverness

A drive around North Scotland.

Heading north from Inverness, I stopped at Lairg for a break, next to Little Loch Shin.
A seat near the Loch.
Heading North along the A838. One of the remotest roads in the country.
Loch Laxford on the costal road.
The causeway across the Kyle of Tongue.
Castle Varrich, overlooking the Kyle of Tongue.
A dragonfly had a rest on my car.
Heading south from the costal road, along the A836. This is Loch Craggie (nearest) and Lock Loyal behind it.
Up on the moors south of Loch Ness, I could see Lock Knockie.
If you ever drive down Loch Ness, try the road on the south side.
Loch Tarff
Photos don’t do it justice. This was a lovely spot.
Looking down at Fort Augustus.
Back in Fort Augustus, where the Caledonian Canal meets Loch Ness.
