Caledonian Magic-land



It is said that Scotland has the fewest days of sunshine in Europe. This weather is a gift that I plan to share with all.

The second leg of today's journey is Edinburgh to Inverness. Above and below are snaps taken as we begin our 4 hour trek, emerging from Edinburgh's embrace and reach across the bridge toward Kirkaldy:




We continue further on toward Perth after a very quick stop.





Past Perth...




We stretch further on toward Pitlochry, Kingussie, and Aviemore:






Finally, I arrive at Inverness. My phone battery is dead. 😫 I will try to get some snaps from town tomorrow. Especially the view down the 23 mile expanse of the Loch.

BUT, I have to plug the B & B where I am staying. It's SPECTACULAR! They've only been open two months. New construction with modern amenities. They are locals to the area that left for the big city and are now back to do this and raise a family. Please look up www.lochnessbedbreakfast.co.uk if you are even considering a visit to the area. I have (European) first floor (American second floor room) that is the size of any American master bedroom. Bathroom is en suite (attached and private) plus there's a deck off the bedroom with this view:


That's Loch Ness. 🐍

They have large beach access with a fire pit and a grill... Oh I could keep going but honestly, if you think you want to come look for Nessie, check out some true Scots beer / ale or whiskies, hike, bike or just unplug, I think that Fiona and John will help you do just that. 

AND. If you are Kelly and Todd, not only can you fish here but the closest pub (www.doresinn.co.uk), which is about a mile away, lists PAVLOVA as a dessert on the menu (probably good to check and make sure they have it first before coming this side of Oz for it). 😋

More from the magical region, that really is just this beautiful, tomorrow. Can you imagine it in autumn???

Night!
