| The Bandstand, or Birdcage as it is affectionately known, has been featured on a few occasions on North West Images. This time though it is colourfully decorated with plants and hanging baskets. |

| We combined the Ness Island walk with the Caledonian Canal which was featured on North West Images yesterday (see below). Starting from the city centre in Inverness, we walked as far as Whin Park, before continuing on the Canal. The above view is of the foot bridge we crossed over the River Ness. |

| The garden lake. |
 |
| Although a very warm day, surprisingly there were not so many people around. |
 |
| Rest awhile and look at the lake. |
 |
| There is always plenty to see when you walk the Caledonian Canal, with boats of all shapes and sizes. This appeared to be one of the older ones and was called 'Loch Ness.' |
 |
| Not the sort of vessel you expect to see unless you were in Amsterdam! The 'Passepartout.' |
