Full intention to make an early start for Inverness. Failed. As it turned out, we had plenty of time to stock up on food for a future evening’s meal and fill the diesel tank. To be fair, we had 203 miles left in the tank from home to Invernahavon so pretty impressive fuel economy for a van weighing >2.6 tonnes. Diversion to Rogie Falls. Not a single salmon in sight anywhere, save for those reduced to pulp being sold in the car park.
Rogie Falls. Tick.
Next stop; Tarbet Ness Lighthouse. Cold and wet. ‘Dreich’ as the Scots would say.
Facts:
- Tarbet Ness is Scotland’s third tallest lighthouse
- Built by R. Stevenson in 1830 after 16 vessels were shipwrecked
- It is said the site was once a Roman fort and then a witchs’ coven
Finally, up to the campsite at Golspie and a brisk walk to the Golspie inn for tea (and a much needed beer)
