Jeremy and I drove to Scotland overnight – unfortunately Diana is “kitten sitting” so did not come with us.
Having had the traditional breakfast in the Perth Tesco, we are heading up to the timeshare in Aviemore. Below is a shot taken of the highlands from a lay-by on the A9.
taken from this location using HDR Pro app on my iPhone 4 to bring out the colours.
Above is a shot of Jeremy texting Sakira – which is something he will be doing a lot during this holiday!
We went to the Central Cafe this morning for a full cooked breakfast – and by the table were some photographs and menus from the past.

The outside of the cafe looks very similar today.
However the prices have gone up a bit!

Seen around Edinburgh.
Travelling to and from the Royal College of Surgeons gave an opportunity for some photography – both whilst walking and from the bus.
There was also one session at the conference that offered nothing I was interested in – so I took a walk around the local area.

Here is a mono image from my walk to Craigellachie – post processed with iPhotogene2.
When I get some time I will post some extra images from my trip last week, that did not get included in the daily blogs.

In the winter, when it is frozen, this section of the walk (below) is no trouble – however things are very different in the summer this short section by the railway bridge can be flooded.
When I do the complete walk in the summer this wet muddy section will be one of the first obstacles to pass.
The route at this point also does not follow the path shown on the OS map.
A bright frozen day today – the plan is to walk some of the Speyside Way.
The first part of the walk is straight out of Scandinavian Village and onto the Aviemore Village Orbital Path, so no road walking.
I am trying out the new boots today – Berghaus Trek Extreme GTX – below is a photo of them new and mud free.
