Tim opening a gate for Chris after I drove down the wrong road to get to the Commando Memorial (near the site where all Commandos trained during WWII). |
|
View from the Commando Memorial. |
Overlook north of Fort William, a good example of forest management. |
One of the most beautiful days we had. Folks, this is Scotland when the sun shines. |
|
Forest management - some parcels clearcut, others in different stages of growth. |
Another view of forest from overlook. |

|
Eilean Donan Castle, near Dorie. |
The traveller's about to enter the Castle. |
Some of the delicacies offered in Scotland. We tried very few of these - I was only adventurous in trying as many different ales as I could! |
|
These defenders of Eilean Donan Castle don't stand a chance against me! |
Two lasses at Eilean Donan Castle. |
"Watch out for that low..." "Ow!" "Too late." |
|
I fared no better. |
The small island is just off the island where Eilean Donan Castle lies - they're building a dog castle there soon. |
