We moved on from the timeshare in Aviemore this morning to camping in Dingwall, via Inverness

Inverness

We were looking for Pokemon and Geocaches and both of these took us to some out if the way places in the city we had not seen before.

The boys are using the Birds Head tent, I have my MSR Hubba.

Set up and we have already had a cup of tea. The weather yesterday was not great, it rained overnight and was foggy this morning – now it is great again, in the low twenties.

Teapots and Clootie Dumplings

/ Travel / ,

All week we have been promising ourselves Clootie Dumplings at the Speyside Heather Centre – we went today but were surprised to find that most of it had burnt down. We thought that dumplings were off but then we noticed they are still running a small tearoom and have Clootie Dumplings on the menu. Not twenty-one varieties like we chose from last year, with cream or custard but still delicious.


Teapots from the Antiques Room still open at the Heather Centre – I did not want my “photo of the day” to be their mis-fortune.
