Rhonda Bracey: At Random

It was a long day of coach travel today. Grey, rainy and misty when we started out from Fort William. The rain mostly lifted as did the fog, but it remained quite cloudy.

Our first stop was Glenfinnan to see the viaduct featured in the Harry Potter movies. Next was Urquhart Castle ruins on the banks of Loch Ness, where we had some steady and penetrating cold rain. Then Ullapool and the 3.5-hour ferry ride across to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, where we arrived at the hotel well after dark. The bus came on the ferry too, so we’ll have it all the way back to Edinburgh, though our driver (the lovely Willy) has to change after 6 days.
