River Ness Walk: Part 2 of 2

Continuing the walk along the River Ness. The river was very high, due to snow melt off the surrounding mountains. 

One of the channels of water that feeds into The Ness. 



Foot bridge in the distance. The twin towers of Inverness Cathedral can also be seen above the trees.
Play time. 
The path we wanted to take to Ness Islands was off limits.
The bridge we would have crossed. Time for Plan B!
Back almost in the city centre. Inverness Castle.
