Well of course we felt obliged to do the cruise of Lochness to try and see the Lochness Monster and surprise, surprise we didn't see it!! What a good myth that one was for the tourist trade around Lochness, as there is not much else there to see, although we did cruise right past Urquart Castle which is on the shores of Lochness. Lochness itself is a really long thin Loch, it is 24 miles long but not very wide and in parts it is 200 metres deep, so we didn't go for a swim as I think it would have been fairly cold!! And because the hills around the Loch are nutrient poor because they are mainly bare, rocky hills just with heather growing on them, there are not very many fish in the Loch and because of all the water (which doesn't even get used for anything!!) the fish are hard to catch! But we went to the Nessie Shop and we can at least say we have tried to find the Lochness Monster now!!
