Wednesday 17th June
Raining at Fort William this morning –Japanese all up, had stripped their beds and left our room before we were awake, bikers all dressed in waterproof gear left with roar of 13 Harley Davidson engines. Took about 4 hours to get to Inverness on road past Lochs Fyne, Oich, and Ness and the Caledonian canal ( about which more later). Met Loma and David who are old friends of Lyndsay’s, who now live near here, for lunch at the Culloden Battlefield Visitors Centre and then spent some time in the display area and had the short conducted tour of the Battlefield. Fascinating specially learning about all the long term effects of the loss of that battle by the Jacobites. Then to the Inverness YHA where our companions tonight are another interesting mix –elderly Scots walking cross country and 2 groups of Czech teenagers amongst others –both hostels so far in Scotland have been fully booked.
