Today was another long day of driving, south from Culloden to Ft. William all the way down along the Great Glen, then east from there to a little town called Callander, where we're staying at the lovely Roslin Cottage B&B. The Great Glen was AMAZING. Beautiful scenery. Self-evident why this is "the" place for walkers and bicyclists to come. Even just driving is an amazing experience, and we had driven north along part of the Great Glen on our way up here.
We stopped at Urquhart Castle, which is now in ruins (those damned Jacobites!) but still a very interesting place to see.
Lots of history here, of course. Toured the castle, then headed on down the Glen.
Tomorrow is Stirling Castle and Bannockburn, and then on into Edinburgh. We may stop at the woolen mills here in Callander as well and see what they have to offer. Found some nice woolen products in a tiny little hole-in-the-wall shop in Stornoway (Harris island) and they were all hand made. Probably won't find that here, but we'll see.
If you're looking for weapons, though, Urquhart is the place. Trebuchet, anyone?
