Haggis for breakfast is actually very tasty! After a gourmet meal, our B&B host drove us and some other guests from their location in the small town of Spean Bridge back to rejoin our trail at Gairlochy Locks. Shortly thereafter, pretty Loch Lochy was to our right and our route followed its shore. Unlike the shoreline of Loch Lomond, this one was (thankfully) not rocky; rather, our path was smooth, shady, and tempered by a cool breeze. Our pace was our quickest yet, at 5 km/ hour for the first three hours (haggis — the breakfast of champions?!) After that, Laurel's feet were tiring and we slowed down until we reached "The Eagle Barge" at Laggan Locks — here we gratefully stopped for a drink and a bowl of soup in the unique floating bar (a converted old Dutch barge). Re-energized, we continued on down the trail, through shady woods three kms to our B&B for tonight.
