saw lots of sheep and highland cows (cos) along the way. met couple farmers at couple of pull-offs, who we stopped when we could was surprised to see all the snow on the mountains as we drove. we passed a couple of places that rented skits / snow boards even. we stopped in a little town - kirkmichael, some some kids there were practicing for an upcoming overnight. they had their back packs on and were going to hike about 7 miles. there were about 20 or so -both boys and girls.
next stop was next stop was a distillery - just saw the sign but they were closed for the winter. open up in april we then stopped at a mini shopping center that had some nice waterfalls.

next stop was dalwhinnie distillery but it was opened this time. took the tour, had some samples and purchased couple small bottles. they serve chocolate with their tastes.
continued on the road and - yep found another distillery - tomatin- this was about 4 in the afternoon and their last tour for the day was already gone. you can even draw your own bottle there from a cask - which is pretty cool. looks like they open at noon sunday, so going to head there before heading out tomorrow.
from there we headed up the road and off the beaten trail to the artist cottage b&b. was everything that deb hoped for.
dinner we headed into the town of inverness to the snow goose. i had the british pot pie and deb the veggie burger - made with butternut squash. was on the way back that she realized she had left the camera there. called them back when we got to the artist cottage and they have it. so will pick it up tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow we head toward Skye - staying just outside of Kyle (after visiting tomatin)
