A round of golf.

My neighbor and decided to fly up to Dornoch for a round or two of golf at the difficult Dornoch Links.  Home base is Plockton so it's about 100 miles or 40 minutes in the 185.

 

Climbing off Plockton - Isle of Skye in background.

Loch Carron with a few small communities at the north end.

Little town of Kinlochewe - Loch Maree to the right.

Ullapool, looks like a great place to live - don't think these old bones could stand the weather.

They call this the Alladale Wilderness - certainly looks the part.

The town of Dornoch - the course is along the shore and can be bracing.

Beautiful set OND and I can smell the distilleries and the good ol' single malt in production. It's a beautiful place, visited this past summer.

Right across the Dornoch Firth is a place called Glen Morangie - ring any bells?

Remember when my Gran used to put a caddy over the pot to keep the tea warm.

You are thinking of the cosy, the caddy is the tin where the tea leaves are kept.:o

Of course most people use tea bags now, much easier when making a cuppa on the go.:)

Sure does, Glenmorangie is my favorite highland sipping's. Been there 5 years ago, this year was a Speyside visit, I needed my 25 year old Glenfiddich. Just wish I could have a box of Cuban's to go with it here in the States.
