This past week, the humans and I took a trip to the Scottish Highlands, starting out in Inverness:
The town hall was very grand:
And the castle had an excellent multi-floor exhibition about various different local tales. There was also an unexpected Raven:
Outside was a statue of Flora Macdonald:
From Inverness, we headed north to Dunrobin Castle, which was very pretty:
It also housed a large bed of very large rhubarb plants:
We were very lucky in that the rain stopped long enough for us to enjoy the impressive gardens:
The inside was just as impressive, though I did get told off by the guide for sitting on the wrong piece of furniture in the dining room:
Our hotel that evening had a lovely view out over Loch Ness:
The following morning, it stayed dry long enough for us to climb up to Foyers Falls, and enjoy a long walk back through the woods:
In fact, the weather was quite miraculous, as it was generally very wet and we often drove through quite heavy rain. But, every time we wanted to get out of the car or visit somewhere outside, the rain stopped and the sun came out, so we saw some quite spectacular rainbows:
All the scenery was gorgeous, and there will be more stunning shots in the next post, when we travel to Urquhart Castle and Attadale.
