On that trip north last year our hotel was in the south of Inverness. It was only seven or so miles  from the village of Dores on the eastern shore of Loch Ness.

Loch Ness looking south from east shore:-

Looking west:-

Looking northwest:-

As you can see the shore curves round almost due west. On that south facing shoreline is a small beach from which there is a fine view south:-

Looking southeast from that beach some of the village can be seen:-

The hotel we stayed at on our trip north last April was by Torbreck, Inverness.

There was an avenue of trees leading off the road that led (eventueally) to Loch Ness:-

And a nice wee burn with a bridge over it close by:-

The burn from the bridge:-

The castle stands broodingly on a promontory above Loch Ness just south of Drumnadrochit.

You can see a cruise boat on the loch in this one:-

While we were up north with the good lady’s blog friend Peggy we managed to take in Loch Ness and Inverness. Loch Ness is well photographed but not so much the Art Deco in Inverness.

The most striking Art Deco structure is probably the BT building which I first saw from the north end of Church Street:-

There was, though, a better view from the pedestrian suspension bridge across the River Ness:-

The first deco building I had spotted, however, was across from a supermarket car park.

There was a pub with deco styling in Baron Taylor’s Lane:-

This very dilapidated looking upper storey is at the north end of Academy Street:-

There is more to come from Academy Street later.

A simple granite obelisk on a stepped granite plinth. Situated at junction of A 82 and A 887, in Invermoriston village, just off Loch Ness.
