Fort Augustus Golf
I’ve been craving a game of golf for a few months now, one of our regular dog walks goes along the caledonian canal right past the Fort Augustus golf course and it looks very inviting on a nice sunny day. I’m not sure where these cravings have come from, my golfing experience is limited to rounds of Pitch and Putt over 12 years ago, but that wasn’t going to put me off. My brother James is visiting from New Zealand, he was also up for the challenge. Apparently it is one of the hardest nine hole courses in Scotland….my brother James and I, although we are no experts on...

Read MoreLoch Ness Monster: The Evidence
Dylan the hostel labrador was swimming in Loch Ness the other day and got a bit spooked. Now anyone who has met Dylan will know he’s not a dog to easily get spooked, the only rational explanation we could find was that he saw the Loch Ness Monster. We’ve not managed to catch the monster on camera yet but we always keep our eyes open just in case. Anyway, we had a bit of a google and found some photographic evidence….. R.K. Wilson snapped this in 1934 Lachlan Stuart photo – 1951 Peter McNab – 1955 Sir Peter Scott got these in 1972 with special underwater...
Read MoreMackerel Season has officially begun!
Rick and Anna are now officially on holiday at Invergarry Lodge (at least it seems that way) so today we headed down to Kinlochhourn to my proven fishing spot to try and catch us some dinner. The drive down to Kinlochhourn was as spectacular as ever, highland cows and some big old stags standing guard along the road while an eagle soared above us. Success didn’t come straight away but it did come in the end, we left with three good fish, would have been four if it wasn’t for the one that jumped for freedom off Ricks’ rod as he brought it in to the shore. Jenny put her...
Read MoreCaledonian Canoeing
Our friends Rick and Anna have graduated from kayaking and moved on to canoeing, we thought it only fair that we test out their new toy on our local loch – you know, to check it’s safe for them before they embark on their first expedition. We headed to Loch Oich, as the smallest and shallowest loch in the Great Glen it was calm even when the weather is less than perfect like today. We had great fun and can happily report that it is safe for them to head out on their own. It all felt nice and stable and you can get up to a good speed, we can’t wait for them to invite us on a...
