Wedding Day
Woke. Sore Head. Beer. Wedding. Beer. Party. Beer. Whiskey. Dancing. Whiskey. Beer. Whiskey. Beer. Bed
Highlands
Doug thoughtfully put on a bus tour and yes we did another Castle. I no longer remember the name, mind you I am writing this after the wedding. We were fortunate enough to see a falconry display which was pretty good. The rabbit didn't stand a chance!!
Lunch was at some falls, can't remember the name again. Anyway, a Harrod's was on site and the falls weren't that impressive.
The highlight of the tour was a visit to the Glenmorangie Distillery - no problems remembering that one.
The evening was the "Bucks" Party. The barman dared shut the bar but not until we ordered some 20 pints and a couple of bottles of Glenfiddich.

Isle of Skye to Strathpeffer
The Isle of Skye turned out to be an amazing break. The Bed and Breakfast was just perfect with the exception of two bottle of wine consumed with Neil, the proprietor. Still light at midnight it seemed the perfect thing to do.
The drive from the Isle took us through some magnificent country. Snow was on the peaks and managed to find two castles for the day. Urqhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness is just as a castle should be.
Once in Strathpeffer we made our way to the hotel to find that they were booked due to coach visits. We were billeted out to the next door neighbours of Jan (the bride to be) which was a classic evening as it was right out of Coronation Street. A BBQ at the McMillans turned out to be a single malt fest!!
