Inverness

The battle of Culloden was betweeen the Jacobites (made up of many people who were for Scotland and Prince Charlie against the British Army). This was the site where the battle was fought and lost in a one hour battle.

Clava Cairns - The Clava Cairns are about 4,000 years old and were built to house the dead.

We searched and searched but we couldn't find the Loch Ness monster anywhere, but people will continue to search as they have for hundreds of years.

The weather closed in, not unusual for Scotland but it didn't stop us.

With our interest in canals we had to visit the Caledonian Canal which goes from Inverness for 60 miles along the Great Glen coming out at Corpach near Fort William. There are about 8 locks in the Inverness section. The single yacht was heading east to Holland while the group of yachts were going across the country then circumnavigating the United Kingdom. We enjoyed watching them also hearing their stories.
