Scotland Trip-III, Road to Fort Augustus and Isle of Skye with Dunvengan Castle















This part of the Scotland-Trip-III photos consists of the photos of the journey from Loch Ness to Fort Augustus, and going towards Isle of Skye (which is a small island on the North West of Scotland)...
1) On the bridge its me just after leaving Fort Augustus. I stopped there because it was really beautiful, with a small waterfall. The water was of course freezing cold, but it was really testy.
2) Also I found some really strange and symmetrical rectangular tunnels on the other side of the bridge. I dont the reason for their construction but definitely would like to know why and who has built those really low elevation symmetrical tunnels in the middle of no where (and it literally was in the middle of no where).
3) Then I reached Isle of Skye and went to see Dunvengan Castle which is a estate of MacNeod Family. They dont live there now a days and prefer to live in Australia. Dunvegan was one of the first few places to face the MNormandic invasions on United Kingdom.
4) Then I decided to visit a place which is not very far from Broadford going towards Kyle of Lochlin, where there is a biggest Sea Otter population in the UK. And on my way I found really stunning landscape with mountains, and a winding road going through the hills, and a hidden lake with nice water.
5) Finally I started coming back to Glasgow and on my way I seen Palm trees first I was surprised to see the palm trees in Scotland but then i realised that south west atlantic streams come and hit scotland and they bring with them tropical currents. As a result, North West of Scotland is the only place in the Northen part of the United Kingdom where one can see the Palm Trees.
