Past few days it has been pretty windy on Loch Ness, infact looking down towards Fort Augustus from Inverfarigaig it has looked more like the sea with 'white horses' breaking over big waves. Today it was so rough that Jacobite Cruises were not sailing. I suppose though we should not be surprised as the strong westerly winds stream in unchecked, right up the Great Glen from Fort William and up until two years ago safety on the loch was the responsibility of the Coastguard which really says it all... this is one wild stretch of water when the wind builds up! Here are a couple of photos which I think demonstrate how rough it can get.
