Hire car arrived prompt at 10am, well done Focus for the efficient service. Being a little early to book in at the hotel we thought why not visit a distillery? This we did at the Glen Ord distillery near Invergarry. Hidden away in some of the finest scenery you could wish to see. We were the only visitors so enjoyed a one to one guided tour which included a warehouse of aged oak barrels still maturing. Most at currently 15 years old. Day would not be complete of course without a purchase of a bottle!
Next stop was the village of Beauly to the Bobroy Pub for lunch of Haggis Burger and chips and a pint of light ness. Set up now for the rest of the holiday.
Once rested we found our way to Dingwall and Tulloch Castle, home for four days. What an incredible find. Just hope the service is as good as the look of the castle. First signs are good, friendly welcome, brilliant room. No lifts so not suitable for the infirmed.
After a welcome cuppa I made my way to the bar while Mrs.T enjoyed a cat nap! The bar was a disappointment, no local real ale. Very surprised at this. Made do with Bass.
Evening meal very good with background Scottish music playing, a good end to the start of the holiday proper.
