Lord of the Glens sailed into Loch Ness this morning, leaving Fort Augustus behind. As we traveled across the Loch’s calm waters, we all kept a lookout for Nessie, but no luck. Before leaving the Loch, we sailed past the spectacular ruins of Urquhart Castle. Then the ship entered the last stretch of the Caledonian Canal as we made our way to Inverness, our final berth of the trip.
Culloden Battlefield lies on the outskirts of Inverness, the site of the final battle of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. We had a guided tour across the battlefield during our afternoon visit to Culloden, then ventured a bit further on to explore Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age site.
The guest slideshow, toasts, and a presentation of the haggis were part of our final evening, with traditional Scottish dance to end the last full day of our excellent week.
