today was a normal 'tourist' day of site seeing.
We left Inverness and drove somewhat clockwise into the Highlands of Scotland - named so because it is the mountainous region.
We first stopped at Inverewe Gardens - a garden of lots of tropical plants and here in the north country. It had tropical flowers like the Bird-of-Paradise as well a palm trees. The area is well about the 55 parallel.
next we drove by Loch Glascarnoch - another long and narrow lake.
There was a short stop at a Scottish whiskey distillery where the process was described and a small free sample was given out.
Some of us chose an optional tour this evening - a cruise on Loch Ness looking for Nessie, followed by a dinner at their 'exhibition' center.
