Inverness, Loch Ness, Castle Urquhart, ScotlandCastle Urquhart, at the top, is on the shore of Loch Ness. We did wait for Nessie who is said to reside in the deep, but she did not appear. See www.aboutscotland.co.uk/ness/urquhart.
Trebuchet. There was a huge medieval catapult construction there, where people were trying to follow the directions and hurl a good one. There is a picture of the catapult at http://www.mini-tours.com/tours_westhighland. This site says that the task was to build a siege machine that would dash a wall at 200 yards. It was the subject of a TV special. See http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/27mstrebuchet.
Scotland in the fall was gold and warm. Misty evenings, mornings.
The formations that enable lochs, and the highlands, would be excellent geo-tourism sites because of the geological sites and attractions. See book "Geotourism" by Ross Dowling at this site: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/706060/description#description.
