Inverness

Inverness pictures
Today is to be our rest day and a look around Inverness. So what do we do? Walk of course, the 1 km or so into town then all over the town, in and out of alleyways, through their markets, in and out of outdoor shops, through their very good museum until plum tuckered out.

We finally board the hop on/hop off bus that takes us on an hour's tour of the city and find that one of its stops is three doors from our accommodation.
I am thinking of getting a kilt, however don't know what clan I belong to, to get the appropriate tartan.
I finally ascertain that I belong to the Ramsay clan and they have discontinued the tartan anyway.
I must admit that the 399 pounds asking price for a kilt leaves me cold. I then think "how often I would wear a kilt anyway?", and finally decide that it really is fanciful idea and the one I have will do.
The castle which dominates the town, is not open for visiting. Rater odd that.
Arrienne stays on the bus for another round, then off at our stop for a nanna nap. Peter stays on the bus to get off at the library, and I exit so I can look at kilts and wander on my own.
It is at this point I come to the above conclusions about kilts.
The walk back to the B and B threatens rain, yet holds off.
It's time to think of packing for tomorrow's train journey to Edinburgh, Carlisle and St Bees for the start of the Coast to Coast.
And that's it really.
