Day 7 - Scotish Highlands, Culloden, Loch Ness

Today was a lot of driving through and out of the Scottish Highlands. More beautiful scenery. Hard to imagine we could stare out the window for so long, but all morning we had our noses pressed to the window. We stopped a couple of times along the road to take pictures, supposedly close to where Mel Gibson stood for a shot in Braveheart. Guess we'll have to watch that again...


After a few hours of driving, we stopped at the Culloden Battlefield. I woke Deb up (again) and we walk around a bit. We'll let you Wikipedia the battle for all the details. The second picture is of Deb and Karen in front of a house that has stood since before the battle in 1746. During the battle it was used as a first aid station.

Our afternoon stop was Loch Ness. No sight of the monster, but no surprise there was a gift shop. Here is a picture of the loch and of Deb with a very realistic replica of Nessie.
