Fort William to Inveraray

Hosts at Fort William B&B (Bardnaclavan) were very friendly

Decided to check out Neptune's Staircase again, properly this time. Luckily for us there were two boats in the canal (going upstream) so we got to see the locks in operation. And Andrew got to talking to one of them about cameras. Weather still rainy


Next stop was distillery - pretty small, didn't go through centre. Checked out the photography exhibition on in the building next door of Douglas Scott who was a climber and photographer.
Checked out Glen Nevis and Ben Nevis visitor centre for Caledonian canal book but no luck. Grace picked up another novel at 2nd place (picked up first one on Skye)
Brief stop back in town to post postcards and then on our way.

We detoured to Glencoe and tried looking for monument to the massacre but couldn't find it and it was raining so didn't want to get out of car either.
Stopped briefly at viewpoint to look at Three Sisters but was cloudy so couldn't see much.


Onwards to Inveraray - Grace slept most of the way.
Parked the car, had lunch at Brambles, then checked into Fernpoint Hotel.

Then onto Inveraray Castle which is the residence of the Duke & Duchess of Argyll. Lovely rooms especially the weapons room - loud Italian tour group ahead of us, rather annoying. Andrew bought a postcard from shop.
Back to hotel to rest before dinner. Had foreign waitress who was obviously new. TV and bed.
