....left Skye this morning and came across this double padlocked gate to an open moor, however, just in case one opened the gate you had better have a fair sized fork lift handy to shift the rock, this wasn't random, there were several gates over a area of several miles (as roads are measured in Scotland - not Km - which is why it has taken us longer than expected to get anywhere!!!), similarly locked and rocked!!! Now, strolling through Inverness we happend upon two enormous owls, chained to a perch, as one would expect. They were collecting money for endangered species, they were about 2 feet tall, gorgeous! Then we ended up at Culloden Field, the site of the 1746 battle that ended the Jacobite Uprising (The MacKinnons fought bravely there), anyway, the part you get to see is a little brown pile of dirt, now we had been seeing these all over the place and I thought they were nice little piles of plant mix in preparation for planting, to save digging etc. Moles!!!!...they are mole hole diggings and if you come upon them soon enough they move!!
Onto Findhorn (some of you may remember the 70's??), for a glorious seafood platter. Aberdeen tomorrow and we begin the descent back to England and work again........Loads of lovexxxxxxxx
