Scotland - Inverness & Loch Ness

Scotland - Inverness

We rented a car for about a week and headed north-west into the highlands & islands of Scotland. Inverness (near Loch Ness) was our first stop.

We found several of these benches, each carved from a single piece of wood.
Looking up at the cathedral through cherry blossoms.
Mmmmmm... Scottish butter infused with sea salt crystals. Now that's something worth getting out of bed for in the morning!
Scrambled eggs are ok too.
Heading north to the Isle of Skye...

Eilean Donan simply means island of Donnán (named for the Celtic saint, Donnán of Eigg, martyred in 617). It is a 13th century castle, restored in the 1920's. It has made many appearances in film and TV, including: the Cate Blanchett film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, the Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones film, Entrapment, the James Bond film The World is Not Enough, and the Patrick Dempsey film, Made of Honor.

Katie: Interesting fact: Since the reigning king at the time of building held a sword with his left hand, this is one of only 2 castles in all of Great Britain with a left-handed spiral staircase.
