First stop was a short walk to the Invermoriston bridge and falls. Trees overgrown with moss - really pretty
We found an interesting suspension bridge. Bridge of Oich - built in the 1854. That is pretty amazing.
There are so many castle ruins but these two will be our last. Invergarry Castle. This castle was the seat of the clan MacDonnell. Oliver Cromwell burned the castle down in 1654. It was rebuilt and held for King James the 7th.
Then the old Inverlochy Castle in Fort Williams. Inverlochy Castle was built 1270 by John “the black” Comyn. It doesn’t look like much now.
we took our daily selfie here. Nice wind blown hair,Vic!
While in Fort Williams we stopped for a tour and tasting at Ben Nevis Distillery. With a view of the tallest mountain peak in Scotland. Had a nice lunch and a personal tour.
The highlight of the day was driving through the Glencoe Valley. So beautiful. My camera phone doesn’t do the area justice.
Then into Glasgow. I can already tell this isn’t going to be my favorite of Scotland. Turning in the rental car was nerve racking, tons of people, honking horns, one way streets and a hotel without an elevator... and we are in the 4th floor. I will he giving the travel company an earful about this hotel. Grrrr first stop was a bar! Tomorrow will be our last day- looking forward to being home.
