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.
…and the dragonflies.

Tain
Having had tea and scones in Tain and a walk along the shore, we then went for a walk in the nearby forest following the Aldie Burn Trail.
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.
this is from the Hector MacDonald exhibit in the Dingwall Museum
For more info see here.
There is a monument to him on a hill above Dingwall – we walked up there today.

Jeremy cooked lunch today – from scratch.
Pork with herb gravy and carrots – served with Italian bread, and it was delicious.
