We said goodbye to lovely little Braemar and headed for the stuff of legend … the Highlands. And the Highlands … are closed. It turns out that it’s winter, and the holidays, and the Highlands are high and blustery. So virtually all castles and attractions are closed, as are at least half of all accommodations. But, we are still managing to hopscotch our way to at least the lower part of the Highlands proper. We took an incredible road from Braemar to Inverness, winding us through the Cairngorms and endless moors of heather (to imagine them in bloom was bittersweet). Our royally-blessed trip to the first distillery inspired us to visit another, Glen Ord (scotch is fun). Then on to Inverness for Hogmanay, the Scots’ New Year’s Eve celebration. And do the Scots love New Year’s Eve. The city was awash in big, burly men in their kilts..
