I paid a visit to the loch in ‘78. Watched sunrise over Urquhart Castle. It was breathtakingly beautiful! I used to be a firm believer in Nessie. Now I’m more in the skeptic camp. Monster hunting at Loch Ness may, or may not be a waste of time. However, the visit is one of the high points in my life. A monster sighting would have just been the cherry on top.
A friend and I were there in September. The day our Loch Ness cruise and Uruqhart Castle was booked for it was so windy I said...even if they don’t cancel this I’m not getting on that boat. We wound up taking a wrong turn on the way back to the hotel and was almost blown off that new bridge in Inverness they built. They shut the road down after we got across because of the wind. Made me sad that we missed all of it because I’ll probably never get back to Scotland again.
