Today was pretty boring, so I won’t write much about it. We went to Inverness, a city about the size of Corvallis, but with much more history and cooler architecture. Unfortunately, rather than wander around, we spent the time letting Mom shop. Dad and I were bored out of our skulls, but we had spent most of the trip doing what we had wanted to do and had dragged Mom along. It seemed only fair that she get her turn.
Mom tried to get me to go into a store and try on a kilt. Fortunately for the rest of you, it didn’t work.
Later that evening, Dad and I hiked up a trail in the hopes of seeing a 2500 year old fortress. Couldn’t find it, but had an awesome experience of hiking w/o Mom. We ran up the first hill and immediately regretted our decision. Huffing and puffing our way up for the next 10 minutes, we barely even noticed the scenery until we hit a viewing point at the top of the mountain. From their we could see the entire Loch. It was one of the best times in the trip for me.

did you run into MacBeth at Inverness?
You know, we almost went to Cawdor Castle, but history records that Shakespeare was full of crap and the castle wasn't built when MacBeth was around (1000 AD). In fact, Shakespeare made MacBeth a much worse character than history recorded. Go figure.
