It’s #NationalHSTDay

Really can’t believe that today marks the last day that you will see a LNER HST on the ECML. So glad, that I went on the very last HST Highland Chieftain up to Inverness last Sunday.

Scotland August Tour 2014 : Day 2

After a great nights sleep at The Royal Highland Hotel, in Inverness. We had a good look around Inverness. Before getting the First ScotRail 1:33pm service from Inverness to Kyle Of Lochalsh. We got into Kyle Of Lochalsh just after 4:00pm.

We then walked down the car hire place, to get a car. Then had a quick look around Kyle Of Lochalsh. Before we drove over the Skye Bridge. Which is something I have wanted to do for years and years! So glad I can say, I have done it now. Then we parked the car in Kyleakin, then walked over the bridge :).

Then we drove back over the Skye Bridge to Plockton, which would be our home for the next two nights! We stayed in The Haven Guest House. Which I can recommend! It’s also dog friendly!

I will now leave you will some photo’s from day 2 of our Scotland tour!
