Sunset at Ardvreck Castle

Later on Thursday 5th July
James enjoyed his walk but had found it quite strenuous in the heat and felt that it would have been too much for me. The Inchnadamph Hotel (which I jokingly call the Cold and Damp!) is fine with friendly people and we had a decent enough meal before heading a short way along the road to Ardvreck Castle to watch the sunset and to take some photos. The last time I was there I seem to remember it was very windy, so it was lovely to walk around in the warm evening sunshine that gave the castle a warm glow and lit up the surrounding hills. And now we are sitting in the hotel bar, which is frequented by some young folk from the nearby field centre who are playing pool, some fishermen and a dog. The fishermen are disappointed in the hot weather because there is not enough water in the rivers for the salmon to swim upstream; they need lots of rain!
