We returned home on Saturday after a fabulous week on holiday in Scotland at Fort Augustus on the shore of Loch Ness. We departed wondering just how cold and wet Scotland, especially the Highlands, might be at the end of March. We got record breaking temperatures for March and lots of sunshine. The farthest north we got was Inverness at the northern tip of Loch Ness on a gloriously sunny afternoon with the temperature reaching 21°C.
We were very lucky to get such a fantastic week in Northern Scotland in March. The locals were talking of snow being forecast for Monday next week. I think we may have been spoilt by the sunny mild weather!

Great to see you had a good time up by Loch Ness, were you in Fort Augustus when they opened the great glen canoe trail last week? From the looks of your photograph, you had an amazing view. Here's hoping the snow stays away.
ReplyDeleteWe had plenty of walks along the Caledonian canal from Fort Augustus and Bridge of Oich. Missed the opening of the canoe trail though. Our cottage had great views over the southern end of the Loch towards Fort Augustus.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous where you stayed. I bet you couldn't believe the weather you had during your stay, better then you could have hoped for.
