Scotland: The Highlander Caledonian Canal Barge Trip
(The Gang on their first Night together) This is the part of our Scotland trip that Sandee truly enjoyed and wants me to consider as a template for future trips. The Highlander barge has 4 cabins and thus we were traveling with 6 other passengers. Two Westcoast sisters with their husbands: Ed and Ellen and Phil and Sally often travel together and then there was a couple: Al and Lauren, celebrating an umpteenth wedding day. (Sailing can be a cool affair) (Our floating hotel) We will describe the day to day program, we were chauffeured to. Of course each day we enjoyed breakfast and lunch and drinks and dinners together. We started in Inverness and six nights later we reached Banavie, a harbor area near Ft William, from where we were transported back to our cars in Inverness.
