After moving through a series of locks in Fort Augustus, Lord of the Glens sailed out into Loch Ness, where the famous Nessie is rumored to reside. Before leaving Loch Ness, we sailed past the spectacular ruins of Urquhart Castle. Then the ship entered the last stretch of the Caledonian Canal as we made our way to Inverness, our final berth of the trip.
Culloden Battlefield lies on the outskirts of Inverness, the site of the final battle of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. During the afternoon, we visited Culloden and then ventured a bit further on to explore Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age site.
The guest slideshow, toasts, and a presentation of haggis were part of our farewell dinner, with traditional Scottish dance to end the last full day of our excellent week.
