** Finding Nessie – Well sort-of, A-HEM !! **
The “McRocky” Family’s Scottish Highland Holiday 2016.
We were all having a wonderful time during our family vacation in northern Scotland. However, by the middle of our week away, it seems that the girls were somewhat downcast about the fact that, to date, we hadn’t managed a single sighting of the famous Loch Ness Monster …. Awwww, bless !!
At 23 miles (37km) in length, and 755 ft (230m) at it’s deepest point, Loch Ness is the largest volume of freshwater in the British Isles. So if there’s ANY place where a prehistoric sea monster might be hiding on our fair island, it’d be HERE, that’s for sure !
Despite our best efforts though, it’s not as easy as you’d think to catch a glimpse of this infamous Highland beastie. I mean, apart from the fact that the water visibility in the loch is exceptionally low, due to the high peat content in the surrounding soil. Making it very difficult indeed to see anything lurking below those mysterious blackened ripples. If the creature itself was easy to find, then there’d be 100% proof of its existence by now, wouldn’t there. So that realisation alone, left Rocky and I with a couple of rather disappointed wee bairns, I tell ya … Hmmmmm ??
Oh dear, hey !!
BUT … All was not lost after it seems …
Seeing as their father is ever the resourceful chappy, after a quick little sneaky solo trip to one of the local gift ships, my keen fella once again suggested we embark upon yet another Monster-Hunting expedition … Hmmm ?? I was naturally curious what my mischievous man was up-to, but I decided to play along regardless. So in no time as all the four of us were making our way down to the loch’s shoreline. Where low and behold … An adorable green and yellow plush “Nessie” toy was waiting for the girls to find … Awwwww !!
How clever !!
To say that Ruby and Emma were pleased by their discovery would be putting it mildly … In their eyes they’d found Nessie at last, so thankfully that meant there were smiles all round from here on in … Phew !!
We’d found Nessie after all, it seem … Well, sort-of. Ahem !!
But anyway … There’s still more of my bonnie wee Scottish exploits to come. However, I’ll tell you about all of that another day …
Bye for noo then,
Love,
Ella x
P.S. Here’s a piccy of Ruby and Emma looking VERY proud about their “Nessie” find. Awwwww, bless
