I’ve had a nice, relaxing weekend doing not very much, visiting a few interesting places and taking a few photos.
Sunday was St Andrew’s Day of course, and there was a bit of music in the Northern Meeting Park as a result.
Today I visited Strathpeffer and Cromarty, both for the first time. They are places I’ve wanted to see for a long time as they are said to be among the prettier villages in the highlands. And they were both lovely.
Strathpeffer was a slight let-down, however, as nearly everything was closed. Make sure you either go in the summer months or avoid Mondays.
Cromarty was a pretty place, and as a former county town it boasts a few impressive buildings.
It’s been nice to be at home for a few days and have a quiet time of it.
All that will end tomorrow, however, as I head off to London for the best part of a week…
Simon, you have visited Strathpeffer before, just over five years ago when helping me load the contents of a van into my grandfather’s house. Mind you, I suppose it was a fairly brief and limited visit.
Oh yeah, that’s right. To be fair, it was dark, raining and a long, long time ago. Early winter 2003, if I remember rightly.
