Our drive north took us along small ‘roads’ through beautiful, massive Cairngorms National Park. It’s early fall in the Highlands and the scenery and colors are fantastic.
The route takes us through busy Inverness and along the northern shore of Loch Ness to our B&B, the ‘Drumbuie Farm’ in the hills above Drumnadrochit. The Nessie Center & Museum in town are a must-do and surprisingly entertaining for a tourist trap. Beautiful Urquhart Castle is another mandatory visit.
A short walk from our lodging is the Benleva Hotel which is hosting the Loch Ness Beer Festival. V ery interesting festival – colorful locals, good band, better beer! A Hairy cow & calf grazed in a field along our walking route.
