My parents sent me this postcard. They did their Christmas shopping here. Drumnadrochit in Scotland is one of the gateways to Loch Ness, famous for its monster. My earliest memory of Scotland was of standing on the shores of Loch Ness, shouting “Ness-ie!”

You’re seeing a typical Highland stone village, with a garden exhibit that shows Urquhart Castle. Urquhart (pronounced, roughly, Urk-hart) is a fantastic castle that juts out into the loch.

The “ch” in Drumnadrochit is hard, a bit like the “gh” sound in “cough.”
