After saying our good bye's to Lulu and Clive after breakfast (they were off to JOGs today) we made our way to Culloden to meet Barbara (widow of my dear Cuz, Ian who so sadly died two years ago). After a reflective period with Barbara we made our way over to Drumnadrochit to meet up with Kerry (Ian's sister). Again, a little break before visiting Urquhart Castle. Kerry is a paid guide at the Castle so was the ideal person to show us about and of course allow us to take advantage of her staff discount. Thanks Kerry.
With Kerry knowing the area we relied on her to guide through the last part of the afternoon visiting Invermoriston water falls and bridges built by Thomas Telford with a final stop at Fort Augustus for evening dinner. FA has a six lock system from the Calodonian Canal to Loch Ness. Very impressive.
After a good meal we re-traced our steps, dropping off Kerry and then to Culloden for Barbara and finally the Castle for a good nights rest. Another enjoyable day and of course meeting up with family again.
