LOCH
NESS, EILEEN DONAN CASTLE,
ISLAND OF SKYE, GLENCOE
We
passed by the beautiful and famous Loch Ness, but 'Nessie' the monster was
not
at home. Eileen Donan Castle was biult on a rocky island where three lochs meet
- Loch Long, Loch Alsh and Loch Duich. The Castle is very romantic, and a
'real Scottish
experience'. Island of Skye is a world of natural beauty, with amazing
landscapes and
breathtaking panoramas. Glencoe the beautiful valley was one of the
highlights of
Scottish Highland.

The view from the
bridge of the Castle (leading to the castle). |
The black-faced ships were very common (and beautiful!) in Scotland. |
We decided to visit one Scottish island. Island Sky is connected by bridge to the Mainland, so it was easy to go. |

The Island of Skye, situated off the West coast of Mainland Scotland, is the largest and best known of the Inner Hebrides. |
Its natural beauty (hills, sea views), villages, history and wildlife attract many visitors. |
Portree is the capital of Skye. Its harbour is surrounded by cute, colorful houses. |
We took a ferry to go back to the Mainland of Scotland. |
| There were beautiful waterfalls everywhere, running down from the cliffs. |
Glencoe means the 'Valley of
Crying' , as it was a scene of an
ill-famed massacre in February 1692. |
