As it was a warm day with a pleasant breeze we drove into Inverness and went for a stroll along the banks of the River Ness. The river flows from Loch Ness, through the centre of the city of Inverness and into the Moray Firth which eventually opens out into the North Sea. Part of it is used by the Caledonian Canal to reach Loch Ness.The flower beds along the banks of the river are full of colour at this time of the year and they are always well tended and respected. Children from an early age are encouraged at home and at school to take pride in growing flowers and vegetables and the private gardens are always a pleasure to look at. The River Ness is quite shallow at the moment and often you will see fishermen in their waders standing in the water waiting for a bite on their line, hopefully a salmon. On the opposite bank are the hungry seagulls waiting for their lunch. Who will get the fish first?
