Beachcombing – Dornoch Beach
We spent the morning in Dingwall doing university stuff for Jeremy and visiting the Highflight Second Hand Book Shop.
The bookshop sells all sorts of books and is well worth a visit. It has a large collection of books about flight – I bought he one above. It was published in 1976 so the final famous plane is Concorde – no stealth planes in this book.
Then we headed north.
Our first stop was Tain, because the sky was getting dark and it looked like rain (by now we had pulled over and put the top up on the MX-5). We parked down by the coast, found somewhere to sit for lunch but not long after finishing the rain started.
With the roof still up we headed for Dornoch where we experience the phenomena that is Scottish weather, we had a beautiful sunny afternoon walking across the dunes and along the beach.
Dornoch “airport”
The route we used took us out through the local airstrip.

Road trip
Dingwall to Ullapool – one of Jeremy’s and my favourite drives – made better in the MX-5, with the roof down.
Lael Forest Garden
Jeremy and I drove to Ullapool today with the top down and the stereo on – right across Scotland. On the way back we stopped here for our lunch.

Neon Rocket Ship
Ed’s American Cafe, in Inverness, nice decor, good staff, well cooked food, but poor value for money. Jeremy was particularly disappointed with his £7.25 hot dog! Not going there again.
