Here's a wee reflection of the Scottish gatekeeper's window captured in the approach.

TEATIME IN SCOTLAND 4.3.14

Taking Tea in Scotland today ...
*
Drawing pleasure from some Favourite Memories
I thought you might enjoy vicariously [and virtually!]

We're visiting the Loch Ness Lodge dating from around 1740!
located in Drumnadrochit
*
{on the west shore of Loch Ness at the foot of Glen Urquhart }


in the Highlands of Scotland 




*
Entering the richly wood pannelled and tartan carpeted hotel .


*
A warm invitation ...
*


*
One of the various settings for evening drinks showcases the sense of warmth - in colour, books and lighting...
[LuV that tartan tablecloth!]
*
Another area for lounging with fireplace,
basket of Scottish Thistle and aged leather sofa . . .
*


*
I was sooo pleased when our server led us to 
this cosy spot for taking tea...
A lovely bay window nook overlooking the rural landscape
{ providing for quiet conversation without other distraction }
  *


*
Delicious tea served promptly to warm and relax, 
[ thanks to a charming and attentive Highlander ]



Scottish shortbread soon thoughtfully appeared -
tea was complete!

Here's to Scotland and Friends Taking Tea !
