Today I decided to go to
Clan Fraser lands in the hope that the Clan Museum in Beauly was still
open and they would be able to give me some guidance as to where to go to
best photograph the lands of the clan. It started out bright and
sunny but within an hour the clouds rolled in so it ended up being quite a
dull day but hopefully this picture gallery will still give you an idea of
what the country looks like.
As you can see lovely and sunny when I set out
from Rannoch but a short way up the A9 to Inverness the clouds rolled in
Coming down the long hill into Inverness
After going over the bridge to the Black Isle
I took this last shot looking over Inverness. It's a shame that the
tourist industry shuts down on 31st October and this being 1st November
everything was shut
This was me on the road to Muir of Ord on the
way to Beauly. The above map will show the route I went
As you can see the country is quite flat
although you can see the hills in the distance
And at last some 2 hours after leaving I get
to Beauly
And yes the Clan Fraser Centre was closed for
the winter <sigh>
I stuck the camera to the window and this is
what it spotted :-)
And this is the Priory right beside the centre
And a fine place for a wee dram to keep out
the cold
Decided to head out of Beauly and a wee way up
Glen Africk to see what it looked like
Actually these pictures don't do justice to
the views as they all look rather darker that it actually was
This was me heading back to Inverness to take
a wee run into the Black Isle
And that pretty much concluded my wee run
around some of the Fraser lands. I was now heading to Culloden while
there was still some light to see the battlefield |
