Today the weather was looking a bit iffy - rain was coming up from the South but it was looking like it may just miss Inverness! We took our chances and drove to an area called the Fall of Foyers, which is about a 35 min drive south from our cottage. The plan was to go and view the falls and then go for a walk close by. To get to the waterfall we had to go down many, many steps - it was worth it though to see the waterfall.

| Hooray finally at the falls! |
We then walked up some steps to get to another path which took us around the edge of a gorge, and then through a wooded area which is known for having red squirrels but we never saw any!

It was a lovely walk but there was a lot of steps even in the forest so, about an hour in to the walk, we decided to turn back as we were thinking what goes down must go back up again - by the time we got back to car we were pretty knackered and had quite a work out!
We then drove along the shore of Loch Ness and the views were amazing - shame I was driving and having to keep my eye on the road! We stopped a couple of times to take in the views.

We stopped off for lunch at a local pub and then made our way back to the cottage for the rest of the afternoon.
