A little closer to home - Inverness and Beauly
... heading into Inverness but turned off and again headed north for Nairn. Twice this morning we are thwarted in our effort to find castles. Castle Stuart was not far off the main highway but seemed to have become a private residence behind a huge garden edged by tall trees. (Called in to Castle Stuart Golf Links instead - would be a windy game of golf here today with a strong and cold southerly blowing) Later we tried to find Cawdor ...
A trek across the Highlands to the Isle of Skye
