Susie bought a sewn doll made by Gillian from scrap fabric and it has special Scottish charms. I think they named it Bobby or Robby and I don't know why.
We loaded and geared up and rode to see Rob Roy's grave. We drove by it at first, I was concentrating on driving down the narrow 2-way road in the rain and I went right by it. We turned around and took a tour of the grave site and church. The headstones in the grave had dates going back to the 1800's and some were so covered with moss and lichen we could hardly read the writing.
Rob Roy (MacGregor) was a Scottish outlaw, revolutionary and folk hero who died in 1734. Liam Neeson played him in a movie.
We then rode a little further down the 2-laned road to find a local art project located out in the middle of a large open field. It's called LookOut: Lock Voil and is a small mirrored cabin. Strange but intriguing.
We never made it to Loch Ness today. After a late start and wandering through beautiful small wooded lanes we barely made it to Inverness before dark. Maybe tomorrow.
