Monday 15 October 2007--As we head north out of Edinburgh this morning, I am pleased to have another pair of
eyes to watch the map and routing. We discuss the intended road before leaving Edinburgh, up through Braemar. I realize
something is amiss as we approach Dundee, which is not on the planned route, and which in fact I've never been in before.
It all turns out okay with a change of plan, a visit to Dunnottar Castle and Stonehaven, but I find it necessary to sack
the navigator and resume responsibility for route-finding myself. The route from Stonehaven to Craigellachie is a pretty
one, a road I've never been on.
Ian Logan finds us in the Highlander this evening, and we arrange to meet him tomorrow. I have a Swedish whisky, Mackmyra
Preludium 01, 4yo 55.6%, which I quite like. It's near the end of the bottle, so I think maybe the whisky's peculiarities
have been softened a bit. I wander down to the Quaich Bar after Ron has gone to bed and have a Rare Malts St Magdalene 19.
