Thanks for the update on Scotland. I’ll checkout the pictures of Loch Morlich; I never heard of Loch Morlich. When I was in Scotland a few years ago, we visited Loch Ness (popular with tourists, still something to see) and Loch Lomond.
Loch Morlich is a great one, a bit further off the path than Ness, and a little more recreational than historical, but definitely worth a visit.
Hello and thanks for a link!
