The bridge at Latheronwheel in Caithness as we continue our North Coast 500 Journey, Herb is travelling the route clockwise while I use the opposite way around, we expect to pass around Durness.

Finding time to visit the distillery of one of Scotland's main exports is a welcome distraction

Very unassuming from the outside, this is the Glenmorangie Distillery, Tain. But interesting traditional methods are still used here. The aroma of single malt in the air is known as "The Angel's Share"

We have travelled up the A9 crossed the 0.5mile ( 892m) Dornoch bridge and reached the beautiful Dornoch Firth, Missing out the Morey Firth until the return journey

One of Dornoch's multiple beaches, this particular beach has miles of gently sloping golden sand. And some interesting rock formations as above at the northern end.

Conservation is a strong point in the area.

A shot from 2010 across the River Ness Leaving inverness on a photographic journey around the North Coast 500 road circuit, I will be making the journey anti-clockwise , Meanwhile Herb has set off a day or two ago in the clockwise direction, we hope to cross paths around Durness, Daily posts will be the order of the day. All images can be viewed on the North Coast 500 group pages.

The bird may take a little finding but the bright orange beak should give it away quite easily, Fence and harbour wall at Ardrishaig on Loch Gilp, Scotland. 16.9 format so a large view may be beneficial ! Will catch up on my return tomorrow, HFF and a great weekend

Chapel with a tragic history in the grounds of Dunstaffnage Castle, 1462 is the year and events unfolded on the 20th December as a bridal party walked through the woods from the castle, The 3rd Lord of Lorn Sir John Stewart a widower was to marry his mistress a MacLaren of Ardvich with whom he already had a son. However before reached the chapel a vengeful relative who had hidden in the bushes ambushed and stabbed him several times, He was carried into the chapel where he found enough breath to make his wedding vows before he died, This ensured his sons inheritance! HWW !!!!!!!!!!
