Tuesday 17 October 2006--This morning we drive through Muir of Ord and Drumnadrochit to Urquhart Castle on the shore of Loch
Ness. I've been here several times, but Ron hasn't, of course, and it's one of the must-sees. The weather is not clear
enough for really good photos, nor is it misty enough to be evocative. No matter, the place is always worth a visit.
We drive north along the lakeshore to Inverness, where we spend a couple hours. Most of my time is taken up in an internet cafe, taking care of business, while Ron is wandering about town. Then it's off to Elgin and the famous Gordon & MacPhail shop, the proverbial candy store for the whisky lover. We browse for some time. Somehow I come out with only a half-bottle Bladnoch and a couple of souvenir Glencairn glasses. We arrive in Craigellachie at about 6:00, check into our B&B, and settle in at the Highlander for dinner and drinks. This is becoming a standard stop on my annual tour, I think. We stay late in the pub chatting with Duncan Elphick, the owner. Unfortunately, we will not see Tatsuya Minagawa, the bar manager; he is in Japan, getting married. Next |
