Hello from Scotland! I came to Loch Ness for one specific reason- to see the infamous Loch Ness Monster! I am staying at a hotel right on the loch (a Scottish term for lake), and it should be fun. I took a tour on the loch today. I didn't see anything but regular old fish, but I did learn some things about Nessie, the supposed lake monster.
Nessie is a type of underwater dinosaur that survived, from what I gathered. She resembles a plesiosaur, and rarely appears. She has been described differently by each person, but the most common description is a long neck, a huge body, and the face of a horse. Most say she stays in the water, but there have been a few incidents out of water too.
Enough on Nessie. Next, I went to the Scottish Highland Art studio and gallery. Some of the paintings were terrible, but others! They were beautiful! There was a lot of landscape paintings. I came in and watched one of the artists working on a portrait. It was great.
To finish up my stay in Scotland, I visited Urquhart Castle. The largest in Scotland, an abandoned guard tower looks out on Loch Ness, giving a wonderful view for passersby like myself. I then headed back to my hotel. What a wonderful time.
