The difference between the surface of Loch Ness and Bai Yujing's imagination is indeed a bit big, not so much a lake, Bai Yujing feels more like a river, the color of the lake is slightly deep, the water of the lake is undulating, and the lake water flows quietly along the narrow surface of the lake into the distance.

The water volume of Loch Ness is about 7.45 billion cubic meters, which is the largest freshwater lake in the United Kingdom.

Fort Augustus is where Bai Yujing stops, and the two decided to take a break here and settle lunch by the way, this is a typical waterside town, the Caledonian Canal runs through the town, and the cruise ships enter Loch Ness through the river locks, and in the middle of the town, you can also see boats passing through the canal in the center of the town.

There are a number of restaurants along the river, the scenery is pleasant, Bai Yujing ordered a chicken wing meal and fish and chips, the chicken wings have a large plate, I feel very conscientious, with side dishes and special sauces, can be freely combined.

Fish and chips are recommended by Emma, this is a typical British dish, the fried cod meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is perfect with French fries, Bai Yujing rarely sees some local specialties in the UK, most of them feel like foreign food, because British cooking is either baked or boiled, and there are not many delicacies that can be recognized by others, and there is still a big gap between the big foodie empire.

However, I feel that some special meals are still good, such as the smoked salmon and seafood soup I tasted before, which are very classic dishes, full of European style specialties, today's dish is very simple, but the portion is very sufficient, the chicken wings are very tender, with sauce, people feel a kind of urge to lick their fingers, the mixed taste of tender meat and sauce, there is a slippery feeling when you enter the mouth, it is simply explosive.

Emma ordered a lamb Logan with meat rice, and the two of them were talking about love while tasting the food, and the river outside the window passed by a boat from time to time, leisurely and comfortable.

After eating, Bai Yujing and Emma drove away from here, ready to walk all the way along the road by the lake to visit Loch Ness.

Bai Yujing found that there are many people parking and holding cameras or mobile phones to take pictures of the lake in some good scenic spots and roadsides, as if they are also looking forward to being able to capture the Loch Ness Monster hiding in the lake in an instant.

Bai Yujing also accompanied Emma around the surrounding places, which has the Loch Ness Exhibition Center, which will show some documentaries about the Loch Ness Monster, but for money, it seems that the Loch Ness Monster has also become a kind of cultural and tourism economy here.

Speaking of which, although the scenery of Loch Ness is elegant and beautiful, there are no special attractions and places in this area, there is only a legend about the Loch Ness Monster, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has been passed down for more than a thousand years, it not only attracts countless explorers who want to see the true face of the Ness Monster, but also attracts tourists from all over the world, even people who do not believe in the legend of the Monster, because of the fame of Loch Ness, when they come to Scotland, they will come to see it and leave footprints here.

It's just that Bai Yujing estimates that most of the people who come here are disappointed, because there are almost no people who can see the water monster, but the beautiful Loch Ness is still worth admiring because of its beautiful and colorful scenery, and there is a dilapidated castle in the center of the lake, Urquhart Castle, which is dilapidated because it is located next to Loch Ness, and has still become a famous attraction.

There are a lot of castles on the highlands, and almost every distance can see a damaged, intact, and desolate castle, witnessing the historical heritage behind here.

Although the castle is damaged, the ruins are still very large, and after crossing a bridge, you will enter the scope of the castle, "It is also so damaged!"

Emma told Bai Yujing: "This castle is very famous, and it was blown up by the soldiers stationed here after the defeat of the enemy in order to prevent the castle from being occupied by the enemy. ”

Bai Yujing didn't expect that the British soldiers would be so strong, shouldn't they be the kind who surrendered and waited for ransom redemption.

The undulating staircase connects the ruins of the castle one after another, and at one of the exits of the castle, you can overlook the Loch Ness at your feet, standing here overlooking the entire lake, suddenly there seems to be a sense of majesty and mystery.

"I've heard that someone has seen a water monster here before!" Emma told Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing asked, "Do you believe that there are water monsters?"

"I believe it!" Emma nodded of course.

Bai Yujing shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, what is that water monster? I heard that it is an ancient creature that survived, and some people say that it is a plesiosaur." ”

Emma shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, "But as you can imagine, it should be a very large monster." ”

When Bai Yujing quietly looked down, his eyes flickered, as if he felt as if something was looking at him under the water, and a black shadow flashed, and then disappeared.

Bai Yujing was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward, holding on to the stone and thinking about the lake under his feet, the castle was built on a lakeside cliff, and under his feet was a deep cliff, the entire lake exuded thin waves, the breeze blew, and the originally calm lake suddenly turned up small waves, but the slightly dark lake water couldn't see what was hidden inside.

Emma looked at Bai Yujing, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yujing was a little puzzled and a little unsure: "I don't know, it's just that it seems that something is looking at me under the water droplets just now, and when I paid attention to the past, I saw a shadow flash, I don't know if I was wrong." ”

Emma quipped, "Oh, you wouldn't have said you found the Loch Ness Monster!"

Bai Yujing smiled, and didn't believe that he could encounter this kind of existence, after all, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has been passed down for thousands of years, and all kinds of evidence can hardly really prove the existence of this creature, "It may be that the water fluctuates a little, causing the shadow, after all, the shadow of this kind of castle is projected in the water, and if the water fluctuates greatly, it is easy to cause this kind of visual error!"

Emma nodded: "It's very likely, maybe the people who observed the water monster before also put it like this." ”

Although Bai Yujing said this, he didn't feel like it, "It can't really be the Loch Ness Monster, why didn't the radar sound, is it because it's not a strange creature?"

Bai Yujing left here, and at the other end of the castle, he found another thing that Bai Yujing was very interested in, a huge siege machine, an engineering pole car, the point of the car has wheels, which can push forward, as a war fortress, it is not surprising to have such a siege machine, it is surprising that this kind of thing is still preserved.

The marks of explosions on the castle and the damage caused by the battles everywhere deeply interpret the tragic scene that took place here in those years.

Leaving the scarred castle, Bai Yujing made his way to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands and the stopping point of Bai Yujing and Emma today.

On the way to Inverness, stopping along the way and seeing some good scenery, both of them will stop to hike, take pictures, and walk casually, which is the real trip.

There are a lot of pedestrians on this road, there are many vehicles, many tourists are parked on the side of the road to rest, take pictures, all kinds of scenery along the way are pleasant, Bai Yujing stopped halfway, and also met a pair of Chinese old men and old ladies who came to Scotland for a twilight trip, dressed very fashionably, wearing a big red coat, with sunglasses, there are various poss on the lakeside, the old man is responsible for taking pictures, and the happy ones don't want to.

Because they happen to be Chinese, the old man also asked Bai Yujing to help take a few group photos, how to say the POSS posed by the two, a little dirty, but put on the two older bodies, it feels particularly full of vitality, that kind of love and sweetness, Bai Yujing can also be regarded as deeply felt.

"Your girlfriend, young man!" the old man asked at once, looking at Emma.

Bai Yujing nodded, and the old man immediately stretched out his thumb: "Good job, win glory for the country, let me tell you, I ...... when I was young."

"You were ugly when you were young, if I hadn't taken a fancy to you, you would have been a bachelor now!" The old lady immediately came out from behind, looking at the two bickering, I don't know why, Bai Yujing felt very envious.

Emma doesn't feel much of this way, but feels that this situation is very common, "I prefer some adventure and excitement in life!"

When approaching Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, Bai Yujing saw a bustling city from afar, and a wide river ran around the city, which was the River Ness, through which Loch Ness flowed into the sea, and on the river, a bridge crossed the river to the city.

When you arrive here, you can see a scorching sun floating on top of the city, clouds and clouds, rivers around the city, houses built along the water, wide streets leading from the bridge to the center of the city, rows of houses in the distance.
