Anniversary Waltz
This was definitely the 'Anniversary Weekend' just past. We had a big family and friends celebration all day Saturday for Mr Donald and Mrs Lydia Morrison from Inverness celebrating 40 years together. After a splendid afternoon-tea and get-together the party went for a cruise on Loch Ness then returned for dinner, speeches and dancing to the nimble finger playing of Mr Tom Cruikshank on the accordion. By all accounts it was a fantastic evening and our congratulations go to Donald and Lydia.
Also celebrating an anniversary were William and Nadine Johnston of Washington in the north of England who stayed with us for 3 nights. They are a delightful couple who are deeply interested in our local history and apart from touring all around the area they spent a full afternoon at Culloden Battlefield and were more than impressed with the new visitor centre. They were so impressed with their stay at the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel that they are coming back with their daughter next year to hunt for Nessie!. They also pointed out that they are avid readers of our blog 'Craic from the Clansman' !
Last week we also had Joanne and her fiancee - she was celebrating her 40th birthday and Kristian, our waiter created much hilarity at her table when he let the cork of the Champagne take off on it's on accord. Thank you for your e-mail Joanne and all your comments are deeply appreciated.
The media rose to the occasion again last week when we featured front page of the local Highland News with a story about Mr Ray Leaning - the gentleman who sculpted our Loch Ness Monster which sits in the car-park - dare I say it... nearly 30 years ago!
Ray was holidaying' in the Highlands last week and got the shock of his life when his wife pointed out his creation from all these years ago sitting at the end of the car-park - a great story.
We also had 'Stig' from Top Gear doing a photo shoot for Google. This raised quite a stir locally as a recent poll put him No.1 above Nessie as one of the UK's greatest mysteries - 'who is Stig?' Nessie was not amused! ...but once his identity is revealed Nessie will be back on top.
This weekend coming up is the Loch Ness Marathon and we would like to congratulate Malcolm Sutherland and his team for their stalwart efforts in growing this event. As the hotel is full this weekend with competitors and their families - we would like to wish them all the best.
Coming again next week is our very good friend Mr Steve Appolinari and his golfing chums. We extend them a warm welcome, hope the weather's with them and the greens are not running too fast.
The hotel is quieting down after a hectic season - so this is the time for you guys to come for that quiet chill-out that you've been promising yourself and you to can do an 'anniversary waltz' at Loch Ness this autumn.
