My daughter got there two days ago. I gather she went swimming in a quarry near LochNess - locals were gob smacked - thought they were crazy - her friends explained that "they're Canadians" that seemed to have covered any concerns the locals had.
Headed for Dingwal - some kind of gathering my wife's side

OT: I did a wonderful grand tour of Scotland years ago.

I started by presenting a paper at the Intl Assoc of Popular Music Scholars conference in Glasgow -- by far the most fun academic conference I ever attended -- than headed up and rode a bike around the Isle of Skye and Isle of Lewis, then took a ferry across to northern Scotland, then visits to England, Wales, Ireland and Northern Island, then back to Scotland for Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Carnarvon, and places in between.

The Edinburgh visit included a proper Scotch tasting session, which was fun but debilitating.

Overall it's a great country to visit, although tough for vegetarians like me outside the cities. My only disappointment was that I failed to track down any fellow members of the Mouat clan when I was up in Sutherland.
