Scotland Part Two

After staying the night in Morags Lodge, we got up early to do a nature walk in Invermoriston. It was partly rainy, partly sunny and partly foggy...the dynamic weather patches reminded me of Cambria. We then headed to Loch Ness, home to the famous monster, Nessie. We boarded a boat and took off on the lake, trying to catch any glimpse of the legendary creature. To our dismay, it began pouring and the wind picked up, so most of the time we stayed inside the boat. Yet I went out onto the deck every now and then when it temporarily stopped raining. We got a nice closeup of Urquhart Castle on the bank of the Loch before finally turning back. Though I didn't see the creature, I still like to think that it's out there. After lunch, we headed south into Perthshire, making our last stop in Dunkeld, a town on the River Tay. We took a look at an old Cathedral near the river, and stopped to admire the scenic beauty. Finally, made it back safely to Glasgow and I boarded the train back to Lancaster, still full of the beautiful imagery that I had witnessed in the last forty-eight hours.
