Today started out the same as yesterday. We enjoyed a full breakfast at the B & B before checking out and getting on the road. Our first stop was a brief stop at Inverness Castle, which is in the town center. You cannot go into it, as it is used for government offices now, so we just walked around outside taking pictures. It was around 10 am so not many people out and about yet, very quiet.

We then drove to Cawdor Castle, deemed as one of Scotland's most romantic castles. It was very nice, it had a draw bridge leading into the entrance, the owners still occupy part of the castle today. We even walked through the gardens, the maze, and one of the forest walks. We did the short walk, as it was raining but it was gorgeous.

Next we drove to Brodie castle, it was kind of plain but still nice, located on over 30 acres of land. We opted not to go inside, as it was 8 pounds per person. We walked around the grounds a little bit and went to the gift shop before heading on down the road again.

We continued on down the road and went to the Glen Grant Distillery, not many distilleries were open on Sundays but this one was. We did the tour, which was very interesting, and the tastings. They were pretty good but I (Tami) prefer mine mixed with something else. Greg really enjoyed the tasting. We would have loved to have walked the gardens, because the Admiral had spent so much time making it beautiful, but it was raining too hard so we decided to just head back to town. With the rain it took us nearly 2 hours.

We ended up just eating dinner at Pizza Express, before getting on the bus at 6:15 pm to head back to London. We arrived back at 6:50 am on Monday, enough time for a nap before work.
