to Grantown. After a quick breakfast, we made the short drive from
Inverness and toured the town. We drove up to Castle Grant, which
unfortunatly is private property and not on display. So no tour of the
grounds. However, being the exploreres that we are, we roamed the fire
roads near the castle, chasing the herds of sheep out of our way until
we could catch a glimpse, snap a pic, and get a sample of soil to keep.
Went to the Grantown museum to learn a little family history. Stopped
by the first first Grantown tearoom for a wee spot of afternoon tea.
Took a tour of the Cragganmore distillary. Didn't learn much than what
we learned a Oban, but absolutly a different flavor than the seaside
samples.
Off we went for ridiculously scenic drive through the highlands. Can't
even describe the scene of rolling hills a mountains peaked with
clouds and covered with heather. Unbelievable!
Tomorrow: North of Edinburgh
The pic: the north gate of castle Grant. Complete with the "Stand
Fast" crest.

I think you need to upload a pic of this!
Gonna have to figure out a good way to get the pics off the real camera. The. Internet cafe pc was going to cost a fortune.
