Firth of forth

Perth

We spent a lovely couple of hours with Mae and Adrian, who are regular visitors to Adelaide. Wish we had arranged our day to spend more time with them. 😢

Rather posh hotel for tonight.
You can tell that they are posh when they have their own cemetery for guests who complain.
Aberdeen

Drove through Aberdeen, everything is grey and everyone drives a Range Rover or Audi (?). However we've bought some colour with us, can't believe how beautiful the weather is today!

A visit to another beautiful Scottish Castle, Fraser Castle.
Very cool, lots to see.

One of the great distilleries.. we took a tour which was just brilliant! We came away with lots of goodies!

The drive from Aberdeen to Inverness took us into Highland country! The search for Red Jamie continues!!!
Neptune's Staircase

Really neat set of river locks!

We visited the site of the battle which ended the war between the British and the Jacobites.
The British won, and this was the last hand to hand battle fought on British soil.
Inverness cathedral

Also called St Andrews cathedral.

The Monster!
Isn't Here at the moment... Please leave a message.

Our home for tonight is Fort William, where the Jacobite Train leaves from.

Sanhead

We are holed up (I don't use the term lightly) in a cabin out the back of a pub in a place that can't decide what to call itself.. we think it's Sandy Bay. Near Stranraer, anyway. The booking agentもっと詳しく

This morning we will drive out of Scotland and down into England.
First stop will be Gretna Green.
