Yesterday we day tripped to Fort Agustus and Loch Ness. It was a gorgeous day the sunniest of our trip so far but the rain and cloudiness that we’ve had did not diminish the beauty of Scotland! Our first stop on our road trip was Fort Agustus. A cute little town at the base of Loch Ness. We stopped for a takeaway lunch at a chip shop and ate outside. After lunch we walked around the town visiting shops. Its a great little town to stopand have lunch before heading to Urquhart Castle in the middle of Loch Ness.
Urquhart Castle was built in the 1300s it was pretty awesome to see the remains of walls and buildings from that age. It is a tourist hotspot though and parking can be a little bit of a wait but it is a beautiful view of Loch Ness!!
Today we packed up our Stuff and left our little cabin at Glencoe. We were all a little sad to leave the Scottish highlands as it was such a beautiful area and we felt like we just scratched the surface. We definitely want to come back one day and spend all of our time in the Scottish Highlands hiking and exploring all of the sites. It is a gorgeous area!
On our way home we stopped and did a few hikes in the mountains at Glencoe and then drove to the airport, dropped off our car and Ubered back to Edinburgh for one last dinner and people watching in the city. It was a really great trip and Scotland exceeded our expectations!
