Exams over, school holidays on the horizon - What will we do for the next six weeks asks every parent. Well if you are not going abroad this year, like many people to holiday at home that is in the UK is top of the priority list. Here in Scotland is a great place to holiday - wonderful scenery, great outdoor activities, good camping - hotels - guest houses - restaurants and plenty visitor attractions.
Castles, museums, battlefields, cruises for Nessie, dolphin watching...it's all here.
All you have to do is create your wish list and Google what you want to do in Scotland and particularly here in the Highlands.

As I said before The Loch Ness Clansman is an ideal base - just look at the website www.lochnessview.com and www.visitlochness.com to see what activities you can do around Loch Ness.

So have a chat with the family and get on that world wide web - do a bit of research about the Highlands of Scotland.
Our colourful history, our national dress, our music, the bagpipes, Highland games, Braveheart country, Local Hero country and Water Horse country. Then book up a couple of nights here at Loch Ness and we can advise you where to go next.

With the school holidays you might be planning a wedding or a honeymoon - What more romantic setting than Loch Ness.
Great value for money - so for a good deal all round give Rory Cameron a ring on 01456 450326.
So my advice is 'beat the credit crunch - holiday at home where your pound goes further than the Euro.

On the subject of weddings - Rory and team had two weddings this past week-end. Both involving the Castle, the hotel and the boats.
The wedding at the hotel of Daniel and Kim O'Donnell (not the singer) was a unique affair. As Daniel is a chef the wedding here was a culinary one, with the magnificent floral arrangements set in cooking pots with the glass lid placed strategically and diagonally in the pot so the reflection was displayed when hit by sunshine or artificial light.
The table plan was straight from the kitchen - Pastry, Larder, Veg and The Pass. Place names were set in two forks back to back - most unusual.
The piece de'resistance was the wedding cake which was a tower of different cheeses topped by a truckle. So creative - so many different ideas.
Our congratulations to Kim and Daniel and all the success for the future.
