This morning we went to breakfast to find that there were no tables available. We came back half an hour later and squished onto a small table. Then we, packed up the car, collected all our things and left for a petrol station to get cash to pay for our accomodation.
We started our drive north through beautiful countryside to Glen Coe. We took a detour to the village of Kinlochleven which we had never heard of. It was so beautiful, we wished we could stay longer. We took a walk to through the woods to Grey Mare's Waterfall. The scenery was stunning.
We drove back to the Glencoe Visitors Centre for an ordinary lunch. Learned a lot more about the Massacre of Glencoe, when Campbells massacred the McDonalds in their beds. Bought a beautiful map of the old clans of Scotland (including J's clan). From here on we were travelling south and for me it felt a bit like we were starting to go home! I was still ready to travel much further north, but time was against us. We are saving Inverness and Wick for next time. We crossed the country to Edinburgh and found our B&B, Alexander Guest House fairly easily after directions from the manager at McDonald's. There was plenty of room, we all had proper beds and best of all it was on the first floor. We walked to the local shopping centre, Cameron Toll, to see if we could get some physio for my neck (see earlier post Sunny Scotland for details of this part of the trip). Later that evening we had a wonderful Indian meal, just across the road from the B&B.
