Scotland exploring

Dec. 3

 
Today the tour continues. We left Skye, and started the day at Eilean Donan Castle. 
 
 
 
After our tour, and exploring the castle, we were on our way.
 
 
 
As we continued on our way back to Edinburgh, we found some highland cows.
 
 
We hadn't actually seen many highland cows up to this point, as a lot of the cows we had seen, were mix breads, making them more fuzzy, then hairy.
 
 
 
This particular cow was very sassy, throwing its hair around.
 
 
We headed to Fort Augustus, to go to Loch Ness, to search for Nessie.

We used fancy technology to search for Nessie.
 
 
 
She was very shy, but we were able to catch glimpse of her.
 
 
 
We were then on our way back to Edinburgh. We past through Dal Winnie, which is the highest town in the British Isles, and Pitlockery, which has a long Christmas, keeping their lights up from November through March.
 
We also past the Forth Railway Bridge, which is a pretty famous bridge.

We also saw the first snow of the season in Scotland. It was seen on top of the mountains.
 
 
We arrived back in Edinburgh, after a fantastic three day tour, where I fell in love with Scotland.
