SUNDAY THE 24TH DAY 15: DUNROBIN CASTLE & FAREWELL DINNER IN ELGIN

The next day we were back on the Ferry and in Scotland on our way to Elgin. 





We stopped for a short break in Wick but it was Sunday and only the Betting Parlor was doing a brisk business.




We followed the Coastal Road and back roads to Elgin.



Then we stopped at the Duke of Sutherland's Castle...one of the most hated landlords in Scotland but a great Castle and they had a Falcon demonstration in the back yard that everyone enjoyed.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN


IT WAS A BRAW DAY THE DAY AS WE HEADED FOR ELGIN AFTER HAVING LUNCH AT THE CASTLE




 It turned out to be a "Bonnie" day and forecast for a whole week of warm and sunny.  A big change from the last week.  Two more days and I get dropped in Glasgow for 6 days Rest and Recuperation.   Now in Elgin and our last dinner together as a group.

The meal was OK and we finished it with song before bedtime.
