Private Scotland Tour 

This evening, I am posting a record of today's tour:

Collected group of guests at Edinburgh and then drove across Forth Bridge to Dunfermline Abbey. This was a former Royal Palace and effective capital of Scotland until 1602. Good views as elevation is high. A friendly peacock afforded some photo opps.We availed of refreshments nearby and then moved on to Dunkeld in central Scotland.

At Dunkeld we visited the ancient Cathedral and took pictures of the locality including the River Tay, Scotland's longest river. Weather was benevolent.

Next, a few miles up the A9 (highway) we stopped and followed a trail along the River Braan to see the falls at Ossian's Hall. Quite stunning, with lots of snow and ice around.Lots of photo opps. See image below.

Next, we drove 15 mins up the A9 to Pitlochry where we stopped for refreshments.

Next, we continued our journey north to Inverness via Aviemore, a town focused on outdoor activities in the Cairngorms.Lots of snow in evidence but roads were clear.

Next we paid a short visit to Clava Cairns, one of Scotland's top prehistoric sites dating back about 5000 years. It was quite eery in the late evening sunlight with the snow covering adding another dimension.

Finally we moved to Inverness via the battlefield site of Culloden (1746) arriving at our lodgings about 6.15pm.
