Once we were all gathered in Inverness, the capitol city of the Highlands, our coach headed along the northwest shore of Loch Ness then over the mountains and down Glen Shiel, finally arriving at the Kyle of Lochalsh. Here we found our little ship, Lord of the Glens, which would be our home for the next week. Captain Jim Still, Hotel Manager Brian Copland, the ship's crew, and the National Geographic/Lindblad staff welcomed us aboard.
After a delicious dinner, we were ready for a good night's sleep to be ready for our upcoming adventures.
