on London time: Inverness

So, it's April! Time moves on even when you're on holiday ;) In the last few weeks, I was lucky enough to: tour beautiful Scotland, spend quality time with my in-laws while learning about their family history, meet their distant relatives (who were the kindest, most welcoming people I've ever encountered,) visit castles, take country and forest hikes, eat at great restaurants, and generally relax with Gavin and Chewie. It was a fantastic time away from London.

We started in Inverness and stayed in a cute hotel along the River Ness, just south of Inverness Castle. Our first full day there was full of touring the nearby towns and hillsides to view the McKay family's ancestral beginnings. The second day took us to Loch Ness (no Nessie sightings...) Plodda Falls, and a run-in with a herd of cattle. The third day we bid the Inverness McKays adieu and headed on to Aberdeen with stops at the Benromach distillery and views of the Cairngorms.

I hate to go into too much detail, because then, where do I stop? I'll let my pictures do the talking!
