Macduff to Inverness

Thursday morning when we woke up at Knowes Hotel we could see one of the fishing boats heading out from Macduff harbor. At breakfast we had a great conversation with a guy who grew up in Macduff. He suggested that before we leave we shouldn’t miss seeing a couple of small fishing villages further east along the coast.

There is a footpath along the cliff face east from Gardenstown to Crovie an even smaller village. Roger walked to Crovie from Gardenstown and the rest of us drove.

The road down to Crovie was very steep and narrow. This truck had to back up to let us drive down.

From Crovie we drove to Inverness. The restaurant where we ate dinner is right next to the castle which overlooks the River Ness.
