Playing Ladies in our Highland Hotel

Difficult to look elegant in your walking gear! Stunning blue skies today....the car thermometer read 22.

This is one of the lounges. It is the Number 1 Birdwatchers Hotel in Scotland, and provides Talks, films, a resident Expert, loan binoculars, books, everything. We booked it as we couldn't find B&B accommodation in the area, not realising this is Holiday Central at this time of year.....Tourists come in winter to ski, and in summer to enjoy the outdoors and visit Whiskey Distilleries, Reindeer Farm, Osprey Centre, and Mountain Biking.

Of course you can ski on the golf course in winter:). Even through summer a touch of snow remains on the mountain tops. The Cairngorms have the most "Munros" (Mountains over 3,000 feet- or is it metres?). Munro Bagging is the thing, if you're an avid mountaineer.

 

Here's another photo of the Woollen Mill....bunting in their courtyard! The Observant will see the Tartan from the boots in the previous Post.
