Highlands






We spent a wonderful weekend in a town called Pitlochry in the southern reaches of the Highlands.

After a wee dram, I was treated to a rainbow (see photo). It was also our first driving experience - yikes! - but it went so well on the drive home that we decided to get ourselves a car ...
