Day 14, 8/10/26, Inverness to Wick.
Another pack up, another days exploration of the rugged coastline and attractions of The Highlands of Scotland. First stop was Dalmore Farm, selling everything from potatoes to giftware and coffee. Trying different potatoes, they've been nice. Cute miniature donkeys, just trying to focus on eating their hay, and not pose for photos.
Then stopped at Carn Liath, a Broch. Getting used to finding the pullovers, and it seems strange to be be walking across a 4 lane highway, but at least it's not busy like the freeway in Brisbane. When we got there the familiar sound of the bagpipes could be heard. We busted in on someone's filming session, as their drone was buzzing around. But it's a public space, so they'd have to cope with that. We appreciated the bagpipes playing, he was quite good.
Off to visit a harbour next, Latheronwheel was very pretty with the sun shining, grass green and water behaving itself, which as the photo's show, it doesn't always do.
Mmmm, spotted a pottery sign, so had to visit, it was nice to visit, the lady potter herself was there, and she had lovely wood fired pieces. A small one found it's way into my possession. I had to bring back a piece of pottery, and I didn't want a mass produced piece from a tourist shop.
Next was some serious exercise down, and up the Whaligoe steps, at least there was only 330 steps, not the 900 steps of the Fans Horizon track in Warrumbungles. Actually felt quite easy.
