Loch Ness III

The last post of Loch Ness is still missing, I am so sorry guys. But today you will get the last pictures of the Trip, I show you a few pictures of the lake itself. Unfortunately we didn't find Nessie, maybe she wasn't at home!? So there's is nothing more to say than: Have fun!!

See ya!

Loch Ness II - Urquhart Castle

As promised you now get the second post about our Loch Ness Trip last Saturday. We also went to Urquhart Castle which is actually, like most of the Scottish Castles, a ruin but different than Dunnottar Castle (see this Post) it lies in a valley directly at the shores of Loch Ness therefore it is easy to reach. For me the most annoying thing was that there were masses of tourists which is clear because of the legends around Loch Ness. However it was nice to see, so I will not keep back the photos! Have fun watching them:

First sight on the Castle.

As I told you: Masses of tourists!

You might have noticed that I like such kinds of photos :).

We didn't climb that tower because lots of people were waiting in front of it to go up.

Bye, Bye!

Hope you liked the few pictures I could show you!

See u later!

Loch Ness I - Inverness

As I've told you on my Baked Friday post we went to Loch Ness on Saturday. The trip was organised by the International Society of our University and we started very early in the morning with three buses to our first stop in Inverness, the Capital City of the Highlands. Inverness is a small town lying at the river Ness and not far away from Loch Ness. We just had a very short time there, so the only thing we really saw was the nice Victorian market. Afterwards we visited Urquhart Castle which is situated at the shore of Loch Ness and from there we made a short Boattrip on the Loch. Sorry to say, but there is absolutely nothing special about this lake except for its legend. It is sad that everything is made up to impress the tourists. Many forget the landscape around it which is really beautiful. It was nice to see it but I think it lost its natural charme. But I don't want to complain and instead show you a few pictures. In this post I will focus on Inverness otherwise it would be to many photos. Hope you enjoy watching them!

Inverness Castle

The view on St. Andrews Cathedral.

The really nice Victorian market, we all felt like being in a Christmas town :).

Such nice old pictures were above every store in the market. 

An absolutely beautiful entrance of a Jeweller.

And we WERE in Christmas town!

Finally a different view on Inverness Castle.

Cheers!
