Culloden Moor and Loch Ness

We started the day by visiting the nearby scene of the battle of Culloden Moor. This is where the Jacobite movement led by Bonny Prince Charles was finally extinguished in 1746 in the last battle to take place on British soil. It is a National Trust of Scotland site so we got in free with our NT card.
We left around midday and drove down the A82 beside Loch Ness to Drumbonach where we had lunch. Then we had a short cruise from the Dunbar Harbour as far as the picturesque ruin of Urquhart Castle where the boat picked up about 50 Asian tourists. Another lovely day with long sunny intervals. Finally went back through Inverness to Dingwall for the night before joining  the NC500 route round the north east coast tomorrow.
