Highlanders!!!

Waring... Cliffhanger alert...we only have a few mins of internet time left so will just write what we can post and fill in the rest later :)


the Ceilidh was super fun, we got up and danced heaps, and did fun dances like strip the Wilow and the white dashing soldier, there was lots of getting spun around and it didn't matter at all that we had no idea what we were doing, people showed us what to do in the ones in groups and we just copied in the ones that were just couples. there were even lots (well about four) people in Kilts, it was sooo cool!!! we were the youngest people there by far, maybe the only people this side of forty!!! but it didn't really matter :)

The next day (Monday) we headed up to Inverness on the Train. it was soo sunny so the train ride was really beautiful and the scenery was lovely, the hills became wilder and all covered in heather which is just coming out into bloom, a really pretty purple colour.

in Inverness we looked at the Castle, bit of a let down really, its only 200 years old (HUH 200 years soo young!! :)) and we couldn't go inside, its just the court houses!! but the view over the city from the top was cool. and we looked through the Inverness city museum which was really interesting, all about the history of the highlands and the geology of the area. so now we know what we're looking at when we go around the place.

in the afternoon we went for a beautiful walk along the river Ness, its soo cool you just walk for 10 mins out of the city into this woodland area and across some islands in the river and up the other side!!

the next day we headed off to culloden battle field but you'll have to wait to hear about that and cawdor and brodie castles and todays adventures in Ullapool and a tall suspension bridge!!
