a stormy start to the weekend, with a fiery sky to warn of the storms ahead. Kilmuir is a point near Inverness that offers brilliant southward views of the firth and westward to the Kessock Bridge over the Great Glen fault.
A beautiful morning and breathtaking colour palate... It was a frozen morning at Munlochy, near Inverness. #trovember!
Rogie Falls! This place is the best.

Room was well appointed and sufficient size. All wooden floors which I guess are more practical but cold at this time of year in particular. Breakfast was pretty good but buffet style meant the food was generally only luke warm and with the dining area very large and open the food cooled down even ...

Platform 1864, Tain in Scotland. A typical town in the Highlands, Tain is a great place to wander around taking in the atmosphere. We visited the museum which has many examples of Tain silverware and a great insight into local history. Here's a shot of Platform 1864, a cafe at the railway station. We spent time here relaxing over lunch. There's a very good menu and the owner has made a great job in the styling of the interior.

Invergordon

This was a hidden gem that we discovered a few months ago. It is a bit of a walk through some fields and a zig zag path down a cliff but it's definitely worth it for some beautiful caves.
