Our final week in Scotland started with a drive over the bridge from the Isle of Skye to the mainland and on to Fort Augustus, at the end of Loch Ness. Along the way we stopped briefly at Eilean Donan Castle. This well known landmark on an island dates back to the 13th Century, although it has been rebuilt many times over the years.
Fort Augustus is located at the southwest end of Loch Ness where the Caledonian Canal enters the famous loch. The canal connects Inverness on the east coast of Scotland with the west coast through Corpach near Fort William.

Our apartment in Fort Augustus was located in an old abbey. The beautiful old building is a prominent landmark in the town.
Near Fort Augustus is the town of Invermoriston. At the edge of the town is an old bridge over a river just downstream from a waterfall.
Over the week staying in Fort Augustus I photographed various views of the Scottish Highlands around Loch Ness.
My final image is representative of our experiences in the Highlands over the month we spent in Scotland. Mountains, lochs, trees, green grass, sheep, and bracken. Shades of green, gold and blue, under often cloudy skies dominated our days in in this beautiful country. We absolutely loved our time in Scotland and look forward to returning one day.
