A wee speil aboot oor trek ...
... and some photies
Those who follow this bog, and certainly those who know me, will be familiar with my "start at the beginning and work through chronologically to the end " approach ... but, now for something completely different.
Beginning neither at the start nor the end, but somewhere in the middle ...
Yup!
The dreaded COVID-19 positive result.
Day 6 of our tour
Day 7 of our trip
Full Stop!
Reset!
WTF now?
We arrived in Inverness after outings at a Highlands sheep farm and a stop at Culloden. Both were in windy, rainy conditions and we thought we may have just gotten a good chill. But Lynn tested positive for COVID the next next day and we removed ourselves from the tour as per protocol.
We are now home, safe and well. Focusing on the good things from our trip will be the main goal. We have both agreed we will (help each other) try not to dwell on the bad as difficult as it may be. The first good? We handled it together, some trying times, but for the most part we handled it well, supported each other and made the best that we could from unfortunate circumstances. We missed the middle part of the tour, Loch Ness, Orkney, Skye, Mull, Iona, Oban and joined back up for the last full day out of Glasgow which was definitely a highlight (more about that in a future post).
So as not to end on a down ... here's on of my first views of Edinburgh Castle on the day we arrived, before the tour got going. We hoofed it into the Old City and took in some of the sights.

On our first day in Edinburgh, we took advantage of the weather and went for a sightseeing walk to keep ourselves going as we tried to adjust to the time change.
