hi,
Andy has asked me to post these up as his internet is not good.

I stand corrected. I was mixing up Fort William with Fort Augustus. Both lovely places to visit. I stayed in Drumnadrochit and to get there I passed by the isolated Commando Memorial which is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The memorial itself is just stunning and I thought made even more moving by its location.

Quite envious Andy.

That castle - with the bridge - is so ridiculously picturesque it's hard to believe it's real!

Not tense at all -very relaxed.
I can't reduce photos on my phone to post here, (now I know how annoying that is!), so posted them on my FaceBook profile.
The castle's real -they're all over the place but most are really fortified houses. The main building has 2 thicknesses of stone wall with staircases running inside them. It was used as a location for the first Highlander film.
I recognise Charlie's name but have never met him. Iceman lives a few miles from the hotel, in Lochaber but, typically, isn't home this week.
Last day tomorrow so depending on the weather I may catch the ferry over to Mull. Some beautiful beaches there, plus the port of Tobermory.
