Tain
Having had tea and scones in Tain and a walk along the shore, we then went for a walk in the nearby forest following the Aldie Burn Trail.
Hector MacDonald Monument and Lunch
Who was Hector MacDonald? He is the Scots solider shown on the label of a bottle of Camp Coffee – and he came from near Dingwall.
this is from the Hector MacDonald exhibit in the Dingwall Museum
For more info see here.
There is a monument to him on a hill above Dingwall – we walked up there today.

The Monument
Jeremy cooked lunch today – from scratch.
Pork with herb gravy and carrots – served with Italian bread, and it was delicious.

Isle of Skye
As we were at Eilean Donan Castle it was only 10 mile to the Isle of Skye. Last time I went to Skye I used a ferry from Kyle of Lochalsh – today of course we drove through there and used the bridge.
Jeremy took the above photo as we crossed the bridge.

If you go to Broadford try the Beinn na Caillich Cafe it was very good.
