Day 10 - Loch Ness!

Greg James | 12:47 UK time, Friday, 31 July 2009

Woke up a bit of a tired mess this morning in Glasgow and did the show from BBC Scotland. Got the call from Chris Moyles at half 7 telling me that today, I was off to Loch Ness!  
 
Listen to the show here (audio available until 6 August)
 
It's a beautiful drive from Glasgow to the Highlands.  Look:

In a change to the usual author, me, I'm going to let Iona do the talking and let you know what happened when I popped round for the afternoon...

Iona, take it away:

I'll give you a different font - this one.

Today was an ace day :D. Greg arrived and i showed him around some shops and stuff - he tried on some scottish hats and i taught him all about shinty (a Scottish version of hockey). 
We had a hoot.

OK, Greg again now - I had a look round the exhibition which lets you delve deep into the loch and learn a bit about the history of it and the monster.  I was then instructed by the lovely Iona to wear the 'Nessy Suit'.  Yuup, yet another career high took place today - dressing up as the a big green monster and giving people advice in the car park in a questionable Scottish accent.

Ok its iona again. Thankyou so much for coming Greg. I had a terrific time and your all more than welcome to come back to the Loch Ness Centre and visit again. Thankyouuu. Greg, i think you are soo sweet and witty :D

Ooo, that's embarrassing - not enough to take it off though.

Here are some more photos:
