Holiday - next part

[curiouswombat]

So, on Saturday morning we left out hotel in Inverness and took the train from Inverness across Scotland to Kyle of Lochalsh. The scenery was beautiful, the mountains magnificent - and I didn't even try to take any photos out the window - just enjoyed it

thank you for this part of the trip!
Scotland doesn't usually get photos here

even reconstructed the site is impressive
so very vast
and so much stone

ooo dear the poor large gentleman
how embarrassing!

i look forward to more!

Scotland is very beautiful. There is a lot of ancient stone there for building.

We saw a proper castle the next day :)

The large gentleman laughed himself - we got to know him and his wife quite well :)

I might write up the next bit tonight, but if too tired I will do it tomorrow - promise!

I’ve been on that Inverness to Kyle train several times and just sitting back and enjoying the view is the best thing to do. I have some very similar photos of Eilean Donan :) It is such a glorious setting. Hope the rest of the holiday goes well.

It is a beautiful run across from Inverness to Kyle.

And we are back in York now - and there was a tiny hitch that, through the holiday manager and the coach driver, was smoothed out beautifully.

Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the view. The weather looks good!

The weather has been beautiful - amazingly for this summer! And so many wonderful views.

Oh, your photo of the castle was EVER so much better than the photo they had on their own website! It is a lovely castle, but you'd never really know it by looking at the web.

Scotland is a lovely place, and so rugged. Part of the charm, I suspect.

Thank you!

And yes - the North of Scotland is not a gentle, soft, country but beautifully rugged.

Now, there's a view to wake up to. Glorious. A Victorian rebuild would not particularly interest me, either, and coming down steep, narrow staircases is definitely not my thing.

[curiouswombat]

It was a rather wonderful view :)

And yes - we were very happy to walk around outside and then sit quietly and have coffee and cake, for me, and coffee and a cheese toasty for S2C, watching the world go by.
