On to Loch Ness






















If you ever go to Scotland, and visit Edinburgh, you must visit Loch Ness via Timberbush Tour's and ask for David to be the tour guide. he didn't bore us once, drove beautifully thru the winding scenery, and really made the trip amazing. It started out at 8 in the morning right outside the castle, with roomy seat's. Now if you have any bladder issue's there is no "loo" on the bus, but he does make a lot of stops along the way so it really was no problem. Here is another hint, people line up early right at the office sign, so at first we thought 'Damn' we won't be able to sit together, but here was the thing, he turns the bus around up at the castle and loads the other way, so being at the end of the line turned into our benefit!
You know how some guides really just go thru the motion to where half way thru your screaming 'shut up' over and over again in your head? Not with David, this man truly loves his country and its passion showed thru the story telling, it was almost a comedy show. From Mary, Queen of Scots, to Rob Roy, he brought them all to life.
The scenery was breathtaking. Normally I am the 'yeah it's a mountain, yeah it's pretty, yeah lets get back on the bus' kinda guy. I just could not with Scotland. Maybe because my blood run's from there, but Even Tim and Destini were gasping from the majesty. From frozen loch's (which is a lake by the way, like brun breed is brown bread) wildlife, statue's on top of mountains dedicated to fallen soldiers. Every turn presented something else jaw gasping.
Loch Ness is awesome, the tour dropped us off to take a boat ride on it (yes I stole a rock) that had a full bar, and went up to an abandoned castle and then back. (The whole time your just going 'I'm on Loch Ness, trippy)
Anywho, the tour took around 8 hours with drive time, but David and the scenery made it fly by! Timberbush charged us 38 pounds each and worth every pence! You know how cheap I am and I would pay it again! I cannot wait to tour it with my mom and dad!
