Day Two
Hopefully starting at the Laggan Swing Bridge, we cross over the A82 road and for 3 - 4 miles walk alongside the East bank of the small Loch Oich, passing the long abandoned railway station of Invergarry.
We are aiming for the village of Invermoriston on the West bank of Loch Ness which is around 14 - 15 miles distance.
At the end of Loch Oich we again follow for around 4 miles the Caledonian Canal which links the Lochs of Oich & Ness.
At the end of the canal is the small town of Fort Augustus and from here we cross over and walk along the West bank of Loch Ness near the A82 main road until we reach Invermoriston.

The Picture above shows the Swing Bridge at Laggan which has just opened to let a boat through.

The Picture above shows the Glengarry Railway Station in 1941 and Loch Oich can be seen on the left of the picture.
Note how much clearer the mountain hillsides where before the more recent planting of fast growing Fir trees which can now be seen all over Scotland.

The above Picture shows the platform edge of the Glengarry Station with now has a rather big tree growing in the centre of it.

The above Picture shows Fort Augustus lying at the head of Loch Ness. As with Fort William, the town gets its name due to the fort seen here on the banks of Loch Ness and which was built shortly after the troubles in 1745.

Day Three
From Day three the walk starts to be more undulating and therefore more of a strain on the blisters.
We are looking to cover around 12 miles today and end up near Castle Urquart, which lies on the banks of Loch Ness near the hamlet of Strone.
This day's walk follows a path near the A82 which skirts the shoreline of Loch Ness. For these last few miles we climb higher up the hillside which will give us some excellent views of Loch Ness and any long necked aquatic creatures?

The above Picture looks down on Castle Urquart and Loch Ness.
