You take the Highroad.....

We've hit the Scottish Highlands - it is stunning countryside - we have just had two days in a small village called Nairn- believe me when I say there not much there... but we thought we needed a break from the driving.. we did come across a gigantic pig farm, they all have their own little houses in the paddocks! and we did visit the local museum which , according to local guides was a must see - hmmmmm.... The caravan park itself was in the middle of the woods - we were expecting to see some elves and fairies as it is quite mystical... we did see lots of rabbits and a couple of squirrels. We had a trip to St Andrews previous to this and stayed also at a small village called Montrose which was on the East Coast. We had a great trip through the mountains to Nairn where we saw some hairy highland cattle! The roads were also a bit hairy - narrow and steep but the views were nothing short of amazing!

Today, we are in Inverness - and heading down to Invermoriston, which is at the southern tip of Loch Ness - so, we'll be back on the tourist path in search of Nessie herself! The weather has improved - nothing but blue skies here today - so it should be glorious weather to be on the water!

We are both very well... and are over half way with our trip- the campervan is great fun it makes it very easy to see all the things you need to- all those little out of the way places! So after Loch Ness we plan tohead inland again and do a bit of Drummond research around Perthshire - have i mentioned how incredibly easy it is to get to places - it is so small - so driving is a breeze- made even easier as Sam and Myke loaned us their GPS so we don't even have to think about where we are going!!! We will also drop back into Dunning to find out some more things about my Grandfathers family!
