Day 1

We were all charged up and decided to go to Ben Nevis our first stop for the cable car ride.!

The cable car ride was enjoyable and the view was spectacular.

Our next stop was LOCH NESS

We did a cruise in the Loch Ness and saw the famous 13th century - Urquart Castle...

A personal view on Loch Ness....it was a lot hyped .We had expected more picturesque surroundings!
We had an excellent guide though and we enjoyed hearing the stories of Loch Ness Monster!

The next day we went to Edinburgh Castle.
We walked around the streets of Edinburgh and great city with a lot of buzz.
We had a great Thai meal as all of us got tired of our old fish and chips!
We went to a weaving shop that sold a lot of Scottish made articles.

Day 3

We drove to Argyll hoping to go to a sea kingdom.
We ended up in the Oban and went around the town.
We ate great Indian food around Glenrothes.
Check out these links the food was awesome....the last thing you would expect to do in Scotland -have Indian buffets every evening!




Day 4
We went to a Safari Park and the girls had a great time watching the animals.

The sea lions show was outstanding!and was well worth the time and wait!
We visited the famous William Wallace monument and went to St Andrews - the home of Golf!St Andrews seemed a town we would have liked to spend more time but glad we did go there!

We had another fabulous Indian buffet at Red Fort - an Indian restaurant!
