Today we drove along scenic coastal views, on our way to 54 acre Inverewe Gardens.
It was a drizzly day mostly, with heavier rain at times. Just a light drizzle when we were on the garden tour though.
Here is a link to more info about the gardens:<link to Inverewe>
We were welcomed by this cheery little Scottish robin, kind of the size of a large sparrow in Ontario. It or its kin kept showing up around our garden tour, maybe looking for handouts?

Clearly a little damp

Our little robin friend again

 |
There were quite a number of very large trees of various sorts
|
 |
Hydrangeas grow large here
|
 |
| More of the Giant rhubarb, a restricted invasive species now |

The seed pods on this plant looked like talons

Pretty setting for the garden on the shores of a small loch

On the road to our hotel again: |
Murals at a stop along the way, not sure where...
|
We arrived at our Loch Ness hotel in Drumnadrochit in good time, about 4:30 in the afternoon. Unfortunately dinner wasn't served until 7:30 tonight, and we have an early 8 am start tomorrow.
