Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

The haar mist eventually burnt itself down into the waters of Loch Ness this morning revealing a cloudless blue sky above. We went for a leisurely walk into Farigaig Forest listening to the bird songs and crunching on fallen pine cones underfoot. The bluebells or 'wild hyacinths' as they are called by locals are still blooming profusely under the trees and they have provided a very good show this year.
