We got on our bus tour today, heading up to the Scottish highlands. It was certainly nice to get some time out of the drivers seat and see the countryside. At almost 12 hours from departure to return, it was a long trip which was well worth it.
Our first stop was at Glencoe. A stunning valley with huge mountains on either side. It was just a quick photo stop, since there is no castle/abbey/etc to tour.
Our second stop was Loch Ness. We jumped on a quick boat tour and got to see the loch from out on the water. The boat guides were very entertaining and the boat was equipped with some fancy sonar and they had screens on board so you could watch what was beneath us. After the boat landed, we had lunch in a little pub, nothing special there, except I don’t recommed burgers in scotland.
On the long trip back, we stopped in Pitlochry and had a quick snack and walked the town a bit, then jumped back on the bus and slept all the way home (it was 100% dark at this point).
