Insh Marshes Nature Reserve
We needed to find somewhere for lunch – so we went a bit further down the road from the Barracks to a car park we saw on the OS Map – this was Insh Marshes Nature Reserve. There were some picnic tables where we were able to set up the stove, for some tea. After lunch we went for a short walk around the reserve.

I have reposted this entry as it was not recorded in the database correctly – I will need to get someone in the office to fix the issue.

Ruthven Barracks
With the weather being so good we stopped off at Ruthven Barracks on the way to Aviemore. There was a major restoration project going on at the site – so I could not get a good photo of the whole.building so I concentrated on details.
The barracks were built on a prominent, natural hillock – so there are great views.

Off to Scotland
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!
Central Fish & Chip Shop & Cafe – Dunbar
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!

Edinbvrgh
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.
