We found a nice fusion restaurant at the Loch Ness Inn for dinner and settled early due to the rainy weather. Breakfast was ordered the night before and we settled for a breakfast of smoked salmon on toast as the main course. Breakfast was served in a lovely little corner of the house.
We decided to drive up to Inverness to check out the city in the morning and do a little bit of shopping. Inverness is a small walkable city situated along River Ness. A panoramic view of the city can be obtained from the Inverness castle.
After a light lunch and shopping at the Victoria Market we drove back and stopped at the Clansmann Hotel where we took the one-hour cruise on Loch Ness in search of Nessie!
As the legend goes, in 565 A.D. the Irish priest Saint Columba was at Loch Ness and when his assistant swam to fetch their boat at Loch Ness, a monster appeared from the water with gaping mouth and sharp teeth. Whilst everyone was shocked with fear, Saint Columba made the sign of the cross and said to the monster ' Go no further !..hurt thou not anybody...! Quick ..get out of here..!'
And Nessie has never been seen again for the next 1500 years !
