Culloden and Clava Cairns

Lots planned for this final whole day away. Noticed the River Findhorn was partially frozen so went down to have a look. Talked about why certain parts were more prone to freeze. Visited Culloden Battlefield and Centre. Very nice sunny day for a walk all round it, the site of the last battle fought on British soil. Good little film and exhibition in the visitor centre, and lovely vegetable broth in the restaurant which we needed in these temperatures. A couple of miles away and thousands of years further back into history we found the Clava Cairns – quite magical feeling there, all peaceful and calm in contrast to the moor. Nipped into Ceramic Experience to pick up the, now shiny having been glazed and fired, works of art. Back to pick Michaela up and then Lynda came home. Had nice dinner together. I’m feeling quite tired after all this running around doing lots of stuff every day – feel I’m just writing: then we did; we drove to; it was sunny – bit like a child And yet some more photos, including a mystery stripy one taken at the Clava Cairns:
