More holiday photos - Scotland this time

Here are some more holiday photos - this time of Scotland. We stayed with Louise on the Moray Firth in Forres, for 3 days. The beaches are fantastic, though a little bit breezy and we didn't venture into the water. Lossiemouth was enlivened by the osprey and some jets from either Kinloss or Lossiemouth, 2 RAF bases up there. There are loads of houses with turrets on them, even relatively small bungalows have turrets which is extraordinary.

After that we drove down to Fort William, heading home, going the full length of Loch Ness, and had some lovely walks round there.

The scenery is stunning, the roads are mostly quiet, and what they call single track roads with passing places would, in Wales, be reckoned wide enough for 2 cars most of the time. It is really beautiful.

How lovely! Did you see dolphins on the Murray Firth? Also can you bring some of the weather up to the Lakes with you?

No, no dolphins sadly. I will try for the weather, but the lakes have all those lakes for a reason.
