We left Skye on Monday morning and headed across to Loch Ness. We booked a boat trip to look for Nessie with captain George who had pictures of the 2 times he had seen something.
It was bitterly cold sitting on the flybridge but Jane and I didn’t want to miss a thing. Very informative commentary, good views of Urquhart Castle but alas no Nessie.
Jane drove us to Corbridge and after dinner with us at a very nice local pub (The Black Bull) drove home to Newport.
We then had Tuesday to visit Corbridge Roman Town and warm up the legs with a short walk around the area. English Heritage has done another good job with this site which was home to the Romans for over 300 years.
As we wandered the ruins, we were amazed once again with the infrastructure here. A fountain provided fresh water while stone drains channelled water and waste and steam to the baths. Note the height of the main road on the right relative to the columns – a consequence of 300 years of resurfacing!
