Visiting the Cairngorms

Enjoying the sunshine and wind at the Cairngorms. Carol and Derek took us exploring up around Inverness and the Cairngorms. We were hoping to go up to the summit on the Funicular Railway, and even had tickets, but it was shut for the day due to the extreme winds that were occuring. This is clearly evidenced by my hair in the photo above. You can see the people skiing in the background.

We had lunch at Aviemore and then continued on through the countryside to Inverness.

  1. Well, you didn't need to go all the way to Scotland for wild weather. You could have come to visit ME. Much cheaper, too.

    :o)
