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
... and sunny but had the odd shower during the day. Interesting to note that even in the middle of the day the best the sun can do is rise to approx 45° in the southern sky - not much difference in shadow direction between morning and afternoon. At different times had to slow right down and avoid a large stag deer, sheep and pheasant on the road. Two sets of eyes open for the unexpected.

Jimmy's coastal walk : day 34
... I was able to get a lift from David Steele, taking me to Inverness by 8.30 and allowing me to reach my starting point in Tain by 10.30. This was important as I had a long day ahead. I would have to rely on B&B again and this presented a difficulty. There was no B&B between Embo at 13 miles and Golspie at 26 miles and no bus that would take me on or back if I chose to stop. So I decided to go for it ...
