Back to Inverness

Hmm, bit odd. Antlers 10 feet up a lamp post, Dornoch

Unfortunately we didn't have time to explore Dornoch further as we had to return the car to the cow shed by midday so we drove directly to the airport. We'd driven over 366 miles in total. We got a cab back to the city centre (courtesy of the grumpy taxi driver I mentioned in my first Scotland entry) where we dropped our bags off at the B&B and had a wander round town. Inverness itself is pleasant enough but doesn't really warrant much time being spent there. The castle is modern by castle standards. It has a small area open to the public and the rest is made up of council offices. We'd been spoilt by Urquhart!


If you ever need an official portrait of your cat, this place in Inverness looked very professional

Had a quiet day and evening in preparation for catching the 7.55am train the next morning. Had our first Scottish steak which was ok but nothing special, should have splashed out and gone to the fancy restaurant next door! (where a fillet was an extortionate £24).

We plan to return to Scotland and hope to see the west coast next time. The east coasters we spoke to admitted the west coast has superior views so they must be absolutely outstanding. Better start saving now...
