Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness

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:-

Art Deco in Inverness (i)

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.
