LEJOG - Day 30 - Inverness to Tain

Once out of Inverness and over the Kessock Bridge it was a lovely cycle along the northern shore of Beauly Firth then Cromarty Firth. Lots of cattle, sheep & productive farmland with the countryside looking very fertile.

In the distance we could see various North Sea oil rigs that had been towed in for maintenance or decommissioning.

Weather was fine with hardly any wind and we arrived in Tain, home of the Glen Morangie whisky distillery. Perfect timing- as we were able to join the last tour/tasting for the day.

Very interesting history and operation. Founded in 1843, it remained a private company until 2004 when Moët Hennessy were the successful purchasor following a frantic bidding war.
