Scotland Tour Day 7 - Loch Ness to Loch Lomond

View of Loch Ness from my room at Loch Ness Hostel, Glenmoriston.

8.30 am. Having coffee on the shores of Loch Ness. The waves make such a wonderful sound. But there is something strange about this lake. It looks like it's alive. Not sure if this is because the waves don't form a pattern. They seem to appear randomly. Even the sound changes. There is no rhythm to it.

Tired traveller (me) at the shores of Loch Ness.

9.15 am. On my way from Loch Ness Hostel, Invermoriston to Fort William, Ben Nevis Distillery, Glen Coe, Glen Etive, past Loch Ba. Should be in Luss, Loch Lomond by around 6 pm. Would be nice to have an evening to relax.

10.30 am. Quick stop at the The Commando Memorial, Lochaber, Scottish Highlands.
