Well, I've been away from this forum for about 3 weeks (been so busy) and there have hardly been any posts at all! I think we need to get some more people interested in this site, as it's a great one!
Anyway... I've been on that there holiday! We had a wonderful time! I'll tell you our complete day by day list of things we did! Prepare to fall asleep!
Saturday 20:00 - Flight leaves Gatwick for Aberdeen
Flight arrives. Drive to Premier Lodge hotel, stay the night.
Sunday - Drive to Inverness and find chalet park. (Mum booked chalet b4 flight, hence why we travelled so far!)
Monday - Went to Loch ness and saw the exhibits on the monsters! Went to Fort Augustus to view the scenery and the staircase of canal locks. Visited Urquhart castle on the way back.
Tuesday - Traveled to Fort William and travveled to Malaig on the West Highland line, the Jacobite. (Very excited about the Glennfinan Viaduct!!)
Wednesday - Had a peek round the city of Inverness, lol
Thursday - Drove all the way up to the Kyle of Lockalsh and saw the Isle of Skye and the bridge!
Friday - Visited the Strathspey Railway and had a ride! Went up the Cairngorm mountains on the funicular railway. Not much to see cos it was very misty
Drove back to the hotel at Aberdeen
Saturday - Flight left for England at 11:00
I'd loved to have seen the Falkirk Wheel on the Forth and Clyde Canal, it looked very spectacular! Me and Dad love our canals, dad more than me I think!
I'll attatch some piccy's!
