Today we stayed around Fort Augustus and explored the Abbey grounds and took a Loch Ness boat tour. Dad saw the Caledonian Canal locks at work bringing a boat through. The Abbey grounds are so cool. You have the banks of Loch Ness, a forested area, an abbey cemetery and walking paths all located here at the Abbey...not to mention croquet, tennis, badminton, giant chess board, swimming pool and sauna. You could spend days here and be completely entertained. Fort Augustus has a few small shops and that small Scottish village charm. The gas station is the supermarket and the bank is also a bed and breakfast. Love it!!! The area is so pretty and we feel so comfortable and at home here.
The canal workers pulling a boat through one of the sections of the locks. Using these sections of locks, boats are able to move up the Caledonian canal and from loch to loch.
The hallways of the abbey. It has a very 'Hogwarts' feel to it...so of course I am loving it!
Mom dipping her feet in Loch Ness.
Me standing in Loch Ness...and yes it was cold.
The abbey 'forest'. It calls for you to explore it.

What's the secret password??? If you know it then I will let you in.
Our sighting of Nessie. It was so shocking!!! Video evidence was also obtained...I will try and post it.
