Our exploration of Scotland continues as we head north to the Highlands. We make a morning stop at St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf. I think about when Dad and I played the New Course in Orlando some time back, which was a copy of the Old Course I'm now looking at. The weather in Orlando was much better.
Up a bit further, we stop at the smallest Whiskey distillery in Scotland. The tasting is of just one scotch and the tour very brief. After a lunch break in town, we take a scenic drive up to our hotel in the Highlands (middle of nowhere).
Arriving at our hotel, we then explore "downtown" which is about two blocks and just wander around until it's nearly time for dinner. I consider joining folks at the local pub, but just crash early in preparation for our big day tomorrow hunting the Loch Ness monster.

Hey Matthew,
I’ve enjoyed looking through your pictures. I came across your site through the Contiki forum page.
I went on the Great Britain tour a few years ago and am just now getting around to organizing my pictures, so I’m having a hard time remembering details of places we stopped!
I’m trying to remember the name of the hotel from the highlands (the one in the middle of nowhere) or at least the name of the town it was in.
Any clues?
Thanks!
