We said a reluctant farewell to Orkney on a dreicht morning. We boarded the ferry just before rainfall. Unlike our previous passage from Aberdeen to Kirkwall, a 6 hour journey, this crossing from Kirkwall to Scrabster on the northern-most tip of Scotland only took an hour and a half. As I glanced over my photos and notes, I wondered how I would fit all of this day into a single post. I can't. As with other posts, I decided to take my time and savor each step along the way. I really want to show you Dunrobin Castle today, so grab a cup of your favorite beverage. You're going to enjoy this. Shenanigans with Thorfinn the Mighty on the ferry. Just for grins.

Day 3 Thursday began early, but we had a long day ahead and much to accomplish. So we bade a reluctant farewell to Edinburgh and set off northward on our next adventure. The scenery was stunning, and kept me glued to the bus window. Our ride was filled with lots of songs from the region as we traveled through Fife and Angus on our way to Aberdeen where we'd catch the ferry to Orkney. We took a wee break at the wonderfully quirky Cairn O' Mohr Winery for tea, a scone, and samples of some Scottish fruit wines. (Please say the winery name aloud) After we left the winery, we were met a short time later by Jim Malcolm's lovely mum who shared Forfar Bridies with us. Yummy and just what we needed! |
