No monster yet but I wait in anticipation. The biggest monsters here are the tourist traps, which we have avoided. The walks around lovely Loch Ness are mostly deserted. It’s drier here with evidence of the drought we have only heard about, and warmer. Here in the highlands of Scotland, we expected it to be very cold, but we have had warmer weather than at any time since Brighton. I expect Loch Ness is best seen in swirls of mist, but it is very pretty. We are staying in another (well-equipped and comfortable) converted garage. I suspect there will be a lot of these in Perth in years to come, if driverless cars can be booked on demand and people give up their cars. I wish that politicians would find a way to tackle the lack of water in our beautiful but arid country – I am sure that with a strong will to make and carry through on tough decisions, it is possible.
In short, we had a lovely time in Loch Ness – lots of low-key walking and relaxing.
