On my last day in Scotland, I took a day trip by Rabbie's Tour called "The Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands Tour". To get to the Loch Ness, we traveled about three hours one way including a couple of stops along the way. We first stopped at Callander, Scotland for a quick breakfast of coffee and pastry before the bus made the ascent to the Glencoe Scottish Highlands.

The landscape views and the mountains are breathtakingly beautiful! I made some quick sketch impressions of what I saw but it will never be the same as what visually stunning natural treasures these are.

Then we got to Loch Ness where I took the one hour boat tour on the lake, hoping to see "Nessie", but just the same, "Nessie" was a no show!

The trip was long but seeing the country side was a refreshing break from the familiar modern city sights we are all accustomed to seeing. It was a long day and I thought I'd get myself a nice dinner before leaving this magical city of Edinburgh the following morning.

I enjoyed that last dinner in Scotland at a Whiski Bar and this interesting view.

I'm glad you got to see some of the countryside too. It's a shame that Nessie was a no-show.
