We continued to follow the Highland Tourist Route today, ostensibly to visit the Mar Lodge Estate. We passed out of farm country today and into the Cairngorms National Park and Cairngorms mountain range. As with […]
Day Fifty Eight
Toady was another “mostly travel” day as we wind our way around the eastern coast via the Highland Tourist Route. We start the day with a challenging uphill walk in the forest. No furry buddies, […]
Day Fifty Seven
