From Skye to Braemar

 

We left Skye to head East to the Scottish coast then to go South. The scenery changed dramatically from steep hills to flat farmland.  We had not been to this part of Scotland in 2007, so all was new.

We followed the coast around from Inverness to Aberdeen.

From Aberdeen we headed inland again to the hills. Much more scenic and surprisingly a bit drier.  More bloody castles, rivers and a bit of snow.

Balmoral Castle. The queen was out, probably shopping or shooting deer, so she missed out on having a cuppa with us. Her loss.

All is going well. Olga is behaving, however she has a bit of a backfire when riding slow in the wet.  So, ride fast.
