Day 3 started off looking a lot like this with dramatic scenery and gentle rolling hills that were quite pleasant. As it was our shortest day on the trip and we were making good progress we stopped of at the glenmorangie distillery, we had hoped there would be a cafe for tea and a bun - honest, but all we got was whisky! Back on the road the road after stopping at Tain for lunch the road got much busier. It felt more like cycling on a motorway, but there are few choices to get south. After going at a pace a lot faster than is ideal, we arrived in dingwall a bit weary and found a cafe at the railway station. The town itself was very nice and left us with only 10 miles to our b&b. Arrived and went for a curry in beauly - well it is saturday. Oddly there had been a big cycling event that finished in the town - the highland cross - so there were dozens of people around dressed in lycra, the one time we would have fitted in and we were in normal clothes for the evening. Fort william tomorrow which is 66 miles and has a big hill in the way so had an early night - again! Will be looking out for the bridge on the road that Alasdair's dad built en route, waking up the loss ness monster in the process.
