Underveis

Scotland forever!

THE HIGHLANDS The Scottish highland exploded in red, orange and purple as we travelled by. Here from the hills above Fort Augustus. It is easy to see where the world famous Scottish whisky has its deep, amber colour from.

SCOTLAND: Our journey through the Caledonian canal was not only the first time Underveis sailed in freshwater, or the first time she travelled above sea level. During our passage through Scotland we also experienced our first frosty nights, a firm reminder that old man Father Winter is breathing mercilessly down our spines as we sail steadily into the south.

ON NESSIE-DETAIL Finn Olav looking for Nessie as we enter into Loch ness. With a camcorder and a foot on the wheel he is ready for almost everything. We were lucky with the weather across the world famous lake (sorry, loch!)
TRAFFIC-JAM Who would have thought that Underveis would ever cause a traffic jam! Everytime we crossed under a swing bridge, all traffic had to be stopped.
FISHERMEN Many fishing boats cross through the Caledonian canal on their way between the eastcoast and the westcoast of Scotland, instead of taking the long and ardous journey north of the Hebrides and the Orkneys.
SAFELY BERTHED Underveis safely berthed in freshwater for the first time in her 20 years. Here we are waiting to enter the locks into Loch Ness.
