22nd

Stayed at Morags last night in Fort Augustus - full of gap year types on tour buses (yanks, Aussies, Canadian, japs) but it keeps the place lively especially as it has its own bar and the live music entertainment was quite good.
Heading eastwards today to get away from the rain, but have to put up with it for the first couple of hours. The dam at Loch Laggan has got the spill ways open- quite a sight.





Breakfast in The Pantry at Newtonmore to keep us going for the rest of the day which is a trip up to Portsoy via Strathspey. Sun is out in Portsoy and time for an ice cream from the Beggars Belief.











Retrace our steps to Keith, then to Tomintoul via Glen Rinnes & Glen Livet. Stop at the Old Fire Station Cafe in Tomintoul for tea & scones and then a quick blast west along the A939 to Grantown where we're staying at the Kinross House guesthouse. All in all 204 miles for the day.
Dinner tonight at a Chinese, but it's not the best. We're off beer tonight but it's an evening of scotch & dominoes back at the digs. Steve is useless and it's an honourable draw eventually between Al & Nige.
