Day 10 – Inverness

Another sunny day greets us as we rise and think of the highlands. Today we are off to Inverness and we are bathed in sun light as we cross the fourth bridge and head for Perth. Last time I was here I journeyed to Aberdeen but this time I am heading to Inverness via the Grampians.
First stop is Perth a lovely town on the river Tay, I have to stop for petrol, and the current price seems to be around 1.30 pounds per litre.
We head out of town and head for Pitlochy which is situated on the upper part of the river Tay, it is a picturesque little village and it is a short run to our first stop of the day, Edradour distillery, the smallest distillery in Scotland. After driving down small twisty lanes we arrive and it is a pretty sight to see the little white buildings gathered around a babbling stream. The tour takes 1:30 and a welcome dram of the 10 year old is a nice start to the day.
Traveling on we head into the Cairncombs national park, wind swept peaks and fast flowing rivers rise and fall as we head north.
Inverness finally comes into view and we make our way to the hotel, it is situated right on the river Ness and is just under the castle. Heading out to find something to eat leads us to a Chinese takeaway and interestingly they serve chips as a side dish, so it is a green curry and chips for tea.
