Snow Way!

Leaving Picturesque Perth we made our way to Inverness, first stop Pitlochry.

A pleasant and tidy town we chanced upon the historic little village of Port Na Craig with a suspension bridge.

It seemed to be a popular place for fly fishing and Love Locks attached to the bridge's lattice sides.

Back on the road again we started to see snow on the mountains in the distance. Born and bred in the snow deprived Adelaide Hills we were both a bit excited to see the White.

A stop off at Aviemore (Strathspey Steam Railway) to check out the station and see if we could get a glimpse at a steam train even though the season for rides was not up and running, but unfortunately there was naught to be seen. Nice station though.

What we did find though was an Aussie Cafe. They really had not unlocked the Australian Theme nearly enough with only one or two Australian wines on their Wine List and there was a footnote  to enquire about Aussie Ales.

Back on the road and we got closer to the snow. It looked most impressive on the pine trees. Inverness and surrounds had falls overnight which seems to be unusual for this time of the year if we have interperated the locals comments accurately. 

Having arrived at our B&B - Dunhallin House where we will spend two nights, it was off to explore the town. The River Ness divides the town and again there are beautiful, historic buildings in every direction.

Inverness Castle is a great view and great views can be had from the surrounding grounds.

Note the change in the sky throughout all the pictures. They are all in order and are all taken on the one day. The one above and the one below were taken minutes apart.

Dinner at the Corriegarth Hotel for traditional pub fare and our own tradition of a draught Cider - Strongbow again tonight.

Catch you tomorrow. Cheers!
