Crask Inn - Tain 40.2 miles.
Early morning mist, sunny in Tain.
After a lively time in the breakfast room with church music in the background we really found this place unique and quite an experience, even though the accommodation was something I have no words for. And they are quite famous we now understand.
So off we went and continued on the A836 all the way to Tain. As we were very high up on the Scottish moors we had to put up with the mist and as we descended it gradually disappeared. Stopped at Shin Falls Visitors centre for refreshments :) Mohammed Al Fayed's place. Still a top class centre for a stop-off. The route was mainly easy and we had several short pit-stops.
Just finished a lovely Lamb curry and will now go back to our B&B.
A little about Tain. There is a little chapel nestling on the southern shore of the Dornoch Firth and which is the reputed birth place of St. Duthus. He made a significant impact on the history of Tain and the north of Scotland with his cult spreading north to Orkney and east to Aberdeen. Tain has also been made a Royal Borough, but I don't know when this happened. I will find it.
