Culloden, Pitlochry and Dunkeld (day five)

The Dunkeld Hilton


We left Inverness and drove to Culloden which is very close by.  I didn't walk the battlefield but I did go through the exhibit in the visitor centre and wander in the gift shop.  Something about the landscape in that area really got to me.  It's a place I'd like to visit again.  I can see a trip based in Inverness.  Then we went south to Pitlochry.  I think it's mainly Victorian.  Quite nice.  That's where we had lunch.  Then further south to Dunkeld where we walked around a bit.  The group photo that I took includes everyone but me and one husband who was taking a picture at the same time.  We were meant to stay in Dunblane but that was changed to the Dunkeld Hilton which had a lovely setting in a park on the River Tay.  The dining room was an enormous beautiful room.  They had two tables set up for our group which I liked.  The next morning Bob the driver berated me for putting brown sugar and milk on my porridge.  Just what I would have expected from him!  We all know that it should only be salt.
