The Great Glen - June 2009

I hate going on holiday for one reason, I need to come home again. We had such a lovely time on the shores of Loch Oich. So much to see and do, so little time. Apologies for the megablog, i trimmed it down as much as i could.

In and around the Great Glen Water Park

The swans turned up every night at 5pm sharp for dinner, right outside our lodge, it was really cool to be so close to cygnets.


Wide-o duckie


Why do all children do this?


The view at 11pm from just outside our lodge. Im surprised you can see it for the midges!
