Yes the first one though they are all kind of interlinked.
Didn't see any accidents but due to the ski centre car park being full, the snowsport folk had decided the A82 would make a good car park and the polis were running about with their blue lights on going mental at everyone.
All yours. :D

Loch Laich and Castle Stalker? As a castle fanatic I'd love to have a look inside this one!

That's it BP, You can visit the castle on certain dates. Check out their website it's £20 per person for the tour which includes the boat trip across. I haven't done it myself so don't know what it is like but they say allow 2 hours for the visit including the boat trip.
You get great views of it from the shoreline by parking down by the bottle banks which are next to the old railway line, now a cycle path.
Coming from the north (on the main road) soon after the sharp left hand bend at the bottom of the hill there is a road off to the right which takes you down there. It is then a short walk on a track to the shore and round the shoreline to where I took the photo. Far better spot than the cafe at the top of the hill plus you will be the only folk there.

Your shot. :D

No, it's fresh water, though the river connecting it to the sea is only about a mile long.
It shares its name (misspellings aside) with the hill I was on.
