Thursday 18 October 2007--Bobby is standing in the car park at the airport in Aberdeen when Ron and I arrive
to pick him up. We visit the recumbent stone circle at Loanhead of Daviot before retracing our route back to Speyside.
Ian Logan meets us in the visitors' center at Glenlivet and shows us around. Ron and I were there last year, of course, but this is Bobby's first visit to Speyside. Eventually we retire to the library for a few splendid samples, including a Cellar Collection '69 and a 30yo. Mr Logan is a very kind and gracious man. Back on the road, we stop to see Sueno's Stone in Forres. It's a twenty-foot Pictish carved slab, a thousand years old (give or take a century), with a Celtic cross and knotwork on one side and a depiction of battle on the other. Precisely which battle it is is a matter of conjecture. The sandstone is weather-worn, and the slab is now protected by a large plexiglass shelter. We arrive in Fortrose, on the Black Isle, late in the afternoon, and take a walk out on Chanonry Point before checking in at the Anderson. Jim Anderson is another gracious fellow, and we enjoy a fine meal, along with splendid pints and drams from the Anderson's vast selection, before turning in relatively early. Bobby is jet-lagged, of course, and I didn't sleep well last night, and Ron seems to be a bit wiped out, as well. We can sleep in a bit tomorrow before heading to Ullapool. Next |
