We decided to take the family to see the monster up north at Loch Ness, and its adjacent city, Inverness. However, today was a paradox. Yes, there was the big blue sky, the small towns and shops on the drive up, the meander on the canal, and wonderful dinner at a pizza joint, we returned from out day out to our parked car cornered by an illegally parked delivery van, rendering us stuck like a duck in the muck, out of luck....for 90 minutes. I called the company to whom the van fleet belongs, I called the police, I called the property management team, I called a tow company. All were of no help. So what do you do when you are stuck in Europe unable to get your car out of a parking bind, you just sit.
Fortunately, we were able to return to our accommodations this evening not too late before the sun set - a trailer camper in a "Holiday Park". We had heard about these in the UK and finally are trying it out. 12' wide, 3 bedroom wonder on blocks in the middle of some of the most beautiful country on this earth - the Scotland Highlands. Tomorrow will be a visit to the Loch, some castles and a fort. Back in Edinburgh tomorrow evening. Ryan out.
Yellow wildflowers, and fields of them near Perthshire.

Our castle for the night.
Not a bad view from our castle for the night.
