Day 5: March 21, 2025
We had a slightly later start today and after a hearty breakfast set off for Loch Ness. We passed through lots of beautiful scenery, spotting as many Highland Coos as we could! We had an incredibly windy photo stop to admire the scenery before coming down the mountains into the tiny town of Fort Augustus.
This was our departure point for our Nessie cruise. The boats sonar was running the whole time scanning the loch looking for signs of monsters… some sightings were confirmed… see pics!!
Lunch was mostly fish and chips for all and then it was back in the coach and off to Culloden Battle field. Emma filled us in on lots of history and we learned how pivotal this final battle fought and lost by the Jacobites was… the end of the highland clan system.
We had some free time in Inverness and then back to the hotel for dinner.
