Scotland, March 2009
The wee laddies travelled all the way up to Inverness to sample the local hospitality and to view sites from the Jacobite Rebellion and the Great Civil War. First day saw us travel across the country and back, visiting the 'Loch of the Caves' - Bonny prince Carles' first landing point on mainland Scotland - followed by a visit to Glenfinnon to see the monument there - see photo. On th eway back we stopped at the regretably closed castle Urquart on the shores of Loch Ness.
Following day we toured the battlefield of Culloden, which has an excellent Visitor center and in the aftrenoon we visited Fort George for a bracing walk around this somewhat exposed establishment, followed by a visit to the battlefield of Audburn where john gave us a recap of the battle there.
On the Sunday we travelled south to visit Killiekranie where graham was able to give us an excellent talk on the key featuresof the battlefield there, followed by a vistit to the Blair Athol estate.
all in all an excellent few days away and a great oppertunity to sample local fayre...
