Ben Nevis. Here at Fort William in the highlands. Weather has really clamped in, temp dropped to 9deg, raining all the time, windy & cloud base at 500 feet, so although we are at the base of Ben Nevis we haven't had a glimpse of the mighty Ben. Getting to grips with Scots law. Supermarkets open 8am til 10pm, but you can't buy alcohol until 10am. Went on steam train ride behind the Lancashire Fusiliers. It is interesting that it was built by the guy whose house we are visiting next week - Armstrong. Mallaig, the destination was a real one horse town, the train passengers took up every restaurant seat in town. No booking, no eating. The scenery from the train would have been stunning, if it wasn't raining. The viaduct, the lochs & glens are beautiful. Bonny P Charlie is famous here as he landed just up the coast. Drying off with a drink in hotel before dinner. Next stop monster.
