The Highlands again or… have you ever wished to travel to a fiction place ?

Remember that we read “Rob Roy”,by Walter Scott,  in the second term in 1º Bachiller? Remember that the novel mentioned many places from The Scottish Highlands: Edimburgh, Glasgow, Northumbria, Aberfoil, Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, Loch Ness…? Remember that I told you about my dream of going cycling round the Highlands …?

Well. someone said said “If there’s a will, there’s a how”, so, after having the will for a long time , the “how”is here ! I would like to share some of that experience with you . This is the place where I am going to stay with my family: an  ancient building  which used to be a Benedictine Abbey which has been renovated into cosy apartments in a small village: Fort Augustus , just at  the bank of Loch Ness. From there, you can do a lot of different activities like canoeing, sailing, hiking, cycling  and, of course, admire the stunning Scottish landscape… I will feel Diana Vernon reading in the old library…waiting for a secret message from the Jacobites while it’s raining outside.

Can you imagine Frank Osbaldistone and his cousins riding their horses on htese hills ? It’s easy here…

The library of the abbey. I will feel as Diana Vernon in the library of Osbaldistone Hall…Do you remember the second chapter of “Rob Roy”, the novel by Walter Scott.

The perfect place to read , think and enjoy the peace of nature.

Loch Ness parts the North Western Highlands from the South East.
