Scotland Day 2 July 10, 2010

On Saturday, we got up and it was rainy. I finally got to wear my raincoat. First we headed up to Sterling (picture below). We drove past the castle which was used in Monty Python.


Next we stopped in Sterling at the William Wallace Monument.
We drove through Callander and we are going to visit a Highland Cow!!! They are called Hairy Coos.

This is Heather! Isn't she cute!

The lazy one is Hamish.

Me on the bus with my foggy window due to the rain. We stopped for lunch at the Green Well Stop. It is along a walking/backpacking trail that goes from Glasgow to Fort William. I think it was called the West Highland Way. The train line that runs along with the mountains on the walking trail is the one used for the Hogwarts Express.

There are rivers running along the road and waterfall/streams along the valley walls. Everything was so green. The rain and fog made everything so pretty.

We drove though Glencoe and I learned that Glen = Valley. This is the three sisters. 3 mountains that sit in the valley.


We went and visited Loch Ness. There was no sign of Nessie. But the water was so black it is believable that something is in there.


we arrived to Inverness. We checked into my second hostel. We went to dinner at the weatherspoon. It is a chain that is also in Kingston. I was starving so I had Lasagna and onion rings.
