Enjoy Inverness and thanks for sharing your journey.

+1. Enjoying your trip vicariously, Ron.

I used to like the Albert Hotel in Nairn.* "I'll have a smokie," I said to the waiter at breakfast because the menu refused to come into focus, and that's a safe order in Scotland. He brought me a fish that hung over a large plate at both ends. "And cancel my order for everything else." I ate the entire fish and my hangover mysteriously abated.

*Past tense, because it is probably thirty years since I was there last, and hotels do change hands or even generations.

Sorry your earlier report was lost, if you didn't catch my reply I was mostly commiserating on the midges.  Sounds like you've had a great trip.
Glad the Crask Inn is still offering the same level of service and friendliness as the previous occupiers.  We called in for a pint and ended up camping on the lawn and enjoying dinner and breakfast there.
