It goes from Edinburgh to Loch Ness and we stopped a couple of times for food and facilities breaks.
The first stop was a small town called Callander where they have a shop and a 21 year bull. We were warned not to touch as a tourist had recently pulled on his horns and now has quite a few stitches in his face as a results.
We stopped at Glen Coe where a massacre took place in 1692.
Arrived at Fort Augustus on Loch Ness at 13:30 after a long trip with about 1 hour in stops for breaks.
Some of the locals are trying to get the name of the town changed from Fort Augustus to another name as Fort William and Augustus have negative historical connotations.
We got sandwiches, water, shortbread and an apple for lunch. I took these on the cruise as it took about an hour.
The company runs two types of trips, the nice quiet cruise and the fast boat trip.
They have a fairly sophisticated Sonar system on the boat which shows 3D images of the loch as we moved along it. The loch is over 600 feet deep in places.
We stopped at another place after leaving Loch Ness for a break and then finally got off of the very winding roads from Fort Augustus to the main highway.
