A little further up the road, we stopped at this old bridge. There were still wagon tracks around the peaty heather and moss.
The Highlands are breathtaking with the greenery interspersed with very old brick and stone houses. The homes are like McMansions but with character.
Driving through the towns, of which there where more of than bigger cities, it was entertaining to see how people park on the side. It didn't matter which direction you faced, if there was a free space you took it. The end result was a line of vehicles pointed in both directions.
At the end of the day we arrived at the site of Urquhart Castle. Situated on the shores of Loch Ness, it had a presence that evoked some very strong emotions.
