Friday, 4 May

Three lovely days in Scotland.  After our stay in Crianlarich at Craigbank House, we headed to  Inverness.  We easily found our way to the B&B near the train line, and ound a restaurant that Robert remembered from years ago. With a little help, we found the Castle Restaurant just behind Inverness Castle.  A plain diner-like atmosphere but very good food and even better desserts! After a good night's sleep we headed back south to Pitlochry (Inverness was the farthest north we traveled).  We easily found the Fisher Hotel on the main street.  What a lovely hotel and convenient location!  We had a lovely dinner of shepherd's pie in the bar.  The "band" started to play about 8:00.  Tommy on keyboards and accordian and young Graeme on bagpipes.  We had a rousing time.  Ann and I sang along to Elvis, Doris Day and Scottish songs. We also entertained the small crowd with a lindy, a polka, and the charleston!  Lots of fun and laughter with the band.  I took video of Graeme on the pipes.  i will try to upload later.
