When Queen
33、Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didnt even go fishing. Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside in
34、to orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle , any frustration(烦恼 ) will float away as gently as the circling water. Its just you and purple, pink, white
35、 flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetimes fun.

36、d mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotlands mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge. But its not just what goes up matters; what com
37、es down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountains north face, lies an all-important source of pure water.

41、oked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的） . So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to be the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans. Wh
42、at made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell（地狱） .What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Tough the tomato and the mandrake were quite differen
43、t except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.

44、 plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her fathers house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruitor is it a vegetable ” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”.

The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of ” he shouted. “Ill show you fools that these things are good to eat!” Then he bi
