  • It's mid-October 2021 and we head out of the city for a last-minute weekend trip to Scotland's most legendary loch. Join us as we explore the banks of Loch Ness, including Urquhart Castle, The Falls of Foyers, The Caledonian Canal at Fort Augustus, and a sneaky wee cruise on the dark mysterious waters of Nessie's home aboard the Jacobite Warrior. We even camped in a forest on the loch side at Dores, but will we find our way back to the tent after an impromptu trip to the pub? There's only one way to find out...
    Prices:
    50 minute Loch Ness Cruise: £18 each
    Castle visit: Approx £9 each
    Camping on the shore at Loch Ness: Priceless!

    I so enjoyed this Steve and Alicja. You do make me laugh! The night noises in the forest - possibly badger, hedgehogs, pine marten, owls, they're all nocturnal. I recognised some of the route and shots because I was up there in 2019. Once you get off the main road on the north side you'll find Glen Affric, great for Scots pine, Glen Garry too. Glad you enjoyed yourselves and that food looked yummy, tho I prefer haggis, Neeps and Tatties without sauce! What you doing next? Take care. 👍🤗

    It’s lovely to see some familiar grounds again Steve from our touring days, we visited the famous Loch Ness several times over a forty year period, we also had boat trips out on the loch, one thing you would never find us doing was camping in the woods at night! I think it’s time for you and Alicja to find a more comfortable option, I remember standing looking out at the loch from Urquhart Castle and it’s magical setting as clear as day, we never did see Nessie though, just a few dark shadows and rippling water that could have been mistaken for him! My imagination ran wild when you found the Clan Fraser Cemetery, I wondered if Diana Gabaldon the author of ‘Outlander’ got any inspiration for Jamie Frasers character in her Novels about a time traveling romance between a handsome Scottish Highland Warrior, and an English Rose named Claire, thanks again Steve for another trip into the past bringing back wonderful memories of an era long gone, blessings from another rather jaded english rose 🥀

    One of your best videos, Steve, although I think I say this every time!
    I was at Loch Ness in 2016. It was July, but raining and cool, and we went on one of the tourist boats from, I suspect, the touristy north side of the loch. It was a great cruise, although the water was rough, and the windows of the boat had stickers of Nessie so you could take a photo looking out over the water and tell your gullible friends that you saw the monster 😂.
    Some other comments:
    - the scenery in Scotland, especially in the Highlands, is rugged and harsh, rather than cute and comfortable, but absolutely gorgeous. I didn’t really expect that.
    - loved your comment about reading a menu and always choosing fish and chips - that’s me at every seafood restaurant.
    - that traffic light near the end of the video, had to laugh as it seemed so unnecessary, lol
    Looking forward to your next video. Regards from 🇨🇦

    I remember visiting Urquart Castle during the 1980s. It was approaching closing time and the keeper was just checking everyone was leaving. As he approached where I was sitting, I commented upon how peaceful it was. Whereupon 3 black RAF jets ripped past making the most appalling noise and he commented, “Not always!” With a smile.

    Perhaps the comments about a lack of trees in Scotland refer to many of the islands you visit, which I enjoy, which are too windy to have trees and often have to make do with a few low shrubs. The Orkneys and Shetland are cases in point. I enjoyed this and it was very brave of you both to go out in this type of weather.
