Towards InvernessWe set off towards the north-eastern end of Loch Ness on the final day of our canoe trip hoping for a glimpse of the elusive Nessie. Passing out across the front of the village of Dores we headed out of the Loch ness and past Aldourie castle where we spotted a Red Squirrel – hte first I had seen in th wild. The rest of the trip took us along the caledonian canal, first passing a beautiful wier before reaching Dochgarroch Locks where we rested for a few hours.The final paddle took us to the swing bridge at Tomnahurich where the hire company picked us up and then dropped us off at our accommodation in Inverness.  Our Canoe trip was definately the highlight of our Scotland trip – definately recommended if you are fit and don’t mind a bit of a challange!
