Riverview Guest House Inverness

Alright, so I finally feel well enough to write. I've had this terrible chest cold all week but am finally feeling there's a light at the end of the tunnel. This is our last evening here in Inverness and tomorrow the big drive south to Edinburgh.

I wish we could have done more while in Inverness, but I have felt just awful. The girls se...

Well, I haven't blogged at all since our travel day, as I have been sick. Caught a chest cold on our last day in London (Friday) and haven't been able to shake it. So it's been quite a bummer not having the energy to do and see as much as I'd hoped. It may be a good thing, though, that we're not crazy busy like we were in London. It's just been ...

We slept in a little longer this morning, not getting up till almost 10. We had our breakfast and caught up on the news. Once the news got boring we watched some Bargain Hunters and Judge Judy before packing our bags and getting ready to leave. After our lunch, May and Alec drove us back into Inverness and dropped us off at the station. After ou...

When we woke, we found it was snowing. It wasn't particularly heavy, but it was large chunks and was fairly constant. The plan had been to go out and see some of the local sights today (May and Alec were intending to chaffeur us around) but obviously we couldn't do this till the snow let up and the council came and cleared/gritted the roads. So ...

We were met at the train station by May and Alec, who took us back to their house in Cabrich which is about 30minutes from Inverness. On the train ride into Inverness, there were clear skies and beautiful views of the snow covered mountains all around. The ride out to their house took us along the banks of the river which gave more views of the ...

Thank you Kate and David for being fantastic hosts and making our New Year one we will never forget.
Your generosity and hospitality were second to none. A push up the drive in 2 feet of snow, a stunning Christmas tree, free range eggs from the chickens, whiskey and Scottish shortbread were all there to welcome us. Due to the amount of snow ...

Well, its been quite awhile since we have managed to write an updated blog and lots has been going on!!! We have completed our tour of the UK and moved onto doing our own thing. At the moment we are in a B&B in Inverness having returned here after spending time in Orkney, we spent a whole day in the Library in Kirkwall going through old cens...

June 6th - woke up looking forward to our last day on Skye with a hike up to the Old Man of Storr. However, it was not to be; as I put my shoes on - my back went out. It was very bad right away. I was so upset. Steve filled me with drugs, put me to bed with a lot of pillows under my knees and told me to "get over it". Ha, ha....I will when I've ...

Because of Scotland's northern latitude, it gets light out at 4am and the sun was up by 5am. I woke up shortly after 5am, feeling rested. I showered, packed up and set out on the road towards Inverness. At this time of the day there was no one on the road. It was fantastic... no traffic, and best of all, no scary trucks coming at me on the narro...

Damn! I woke up at 4am today!! Think its because I went to bed so early yday... or maybe its because my mind was distracted, thinking of all the pretty Scottish gals I had seen yday night!! ( u know what they say when u'r in love.... lol!) I was trying to force myself to sleep, but to no avail... so I got up at 5am & started watching TV! I watch...
