Cloddymoss and Clubin

Cloddymoss and Clubin is an area of coastal forest just east of Nairn and on the Moray Firth. We spent the afternoon walking some of the tracks there – and having lunch.

this represents the village of Clubin which was buried by the sand dunes

Our walk took in the “Dragonfly Pool” – where we saw several very colourful Dragonflies darting around.

Hector MacDonald Monument and Lunch

Who was Hector MacDonald? He is the Scots solider shown on the label of a bottle of Camp Coffee – and he came from near Dingwall.

Pork with herb gravy and carrots – served with Italian bread, and it was delicious.
