Basically a driving day as we left Edinburgh and made our way to Inverness. We called into Dundee to go to the exhibition on the sailing ship Discovery that Capt. Scott used to explore Antarctica. It was quite a good exhibit and I found out some interesting bits of information which may come in handy if I ever get a trivia question about it.

Moving on from there we drove to Stonehaven to do a cliff walk where birds nested. Ordinarily this would have been lovely but it was drizzling rain and while I had my jacket on, I foolishly decided not to put on the waterproof pants. I didn't realise the track had tall grass and was somewhat muddy underfoot and by the time we got back my pants were saturated. There were heaps of birds though and the area was pretty despite the rain.

Rained all the way to Inverness where it suddenly stopped and the sun came out. Inverness looks very nice but we were not staying here, but a bit further out of town where the Airbnb's are a bit cheaper (expensive around Loch Ness country where we had tomorrow.Läs mer
