LOCH NESS

URQUART CASTLE STANDS ON THE BANKS OF LOCH NESS IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND BETWEEN INVERNESS AND FORT WILLIAM.THE CASTLE IS IN RUIN AFTER BEING BLOWN UP IN 1692 BY THE GOVERNMENT TO STOP THE JACOBITES USING IT AS A BASE. THE CASTLE OVER LOOKS THE FAMOUS LOCH NESS WHERE THE LOCH NESS MONSTER LIVES IN PEACE AND QUIET ONLY COMING TO THE SURFACE EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. IT IS SAID THAT THE HILLS AROUND LOCH NESS ARE SOME OF THE BEST HUNTING GROUNDS FOR HAGGIS IN SCOTLAND. THE PICTURES YOU SEE WERE TAKEN BY A FRIEND OF MINE WHO VISITED THE AREA SOME TIME AGO (THANX GLYNIS AKA MARY DOLL)
