Loch Ness

We are in Inverness near the Loch Ness which is famous for it's monster. However, despite all the sightings, lots of people have been down in the Loch (which is 230 metres deep) and never found anything.
There is a Castle - Urquhart on the Loch. We visited this today. Like many castles we visit, it is only ruins.

While we were in Edinburgh, we visited Holyrood Palace which Queen Elizabeth still visits but only for a few days of the year.

Scotland is very wet. It's national flower is the Thistle which is a weed and there are a lot of distillaries brewing whisky.
