Last night as we were pulling into our new cottage, the dark night and dead broken trees surrounding us on the long driveway in, were enough to start us off fearing our new abode. In the morning, we decided to face our fear by exploring. After all, we technically had acres upon acres at our disposal. We walked to the cliff to look down at the river and the sight didn't soothe our fearful hearts. Down on the banks of the river was a tiny little house surrounded by ruined trees. It looked as though a sonic boom had emanated from the tiny place annihilating everything around it for a hundred yards.
We made our way down the steep embankment to the river and found a swaying bridge to get to the other side.

After our little jaunt, we decided to go grocery shopping at the Tesco in Inverness. I have fond memories of Tesco from my last trip in Britain so I was excited to peruse the aisles. Michelle and I wanted to visit the Culloden battlefield as the Outlander books went far in inspiring our trip location. We walked through the visitor center and through the battlefields to find the marker we wanted!

That night we feasted on haystacks and relaxed in the parlor talking long into the night.
