We started out the morning by visiting Old Inverlochy Castle, located in Fort William.
It is the ruins of the 13-th center castle that served as the backdrop for my Inverlochy battles.
Queen Victoria came here in 1873 to see these ruins.
But it was here, that she stayed.
And she is quoted as saying "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot."
It is set on 500 acres of private land on the shores of Loch Lochy.
Verdict: I must agree with Queen Victoria. It is indeed lovely and romantic. It's also cozy and historic and beautiful and charming and old in a "I'm staying in a castle! kind of old". Even so, it's not necessarily a must do before you die.
