THE THIRD DY OFA THE TRIP
The third day in Scotland, we started a tour for the Highlands and all the north of Scotland with the driver and guide Ivonne . She was the person who was in charge of explaining the day by day all the stories, legends, anecdotes of all the places that we visited.
It was our first day of the tour: We started visiting the famous Forth Rail Bridge, a railway bridge of the end of the century XIX, a miracle of engineering and now threre are two new bridges called, the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Grossing. after that stop, we continue towards Dunkeld, the heard of Macbeth were we visited its huge Cathedral beside the river Tay and the town. Then we visited the Tay Forest Park, a natural park with amazing areas of nature, and Hermitgge Fall, one big fall near the Roman Bridge. Later, we followed our way towards Inverness, to a distillery of Whisky, which was Tomatin Whisky Destillery. There, there were a guide who was waiting for us to make our visit along all the distillery. Next, we passed through the area of showy mountains till we arrived to a prehistoric site of Cairngons and we visited there the Clava Cairns, three funerary camaras of the age of bronze that they have expectional conservation.
In this poetic places we admred the first " hairy coos" the furry cows of the highlands. Later, we went to visit the visitor center of Culloden and the big mysterious and solitary field where it took place the big battle of Culloden Batlefield at 1746 were the English soldiers defeated the Scottish ones. This was the last stop before arriving to Inverness, the first place where we slept and the capital of the Highlands. There we went for a walk along the main streets of the city, for example streets like Hight Street until the river Ness where we visited the singular bridge for the pedestrians Greig Street Footbridge, and Inverness Castle.
