      Not quite the area I like the best in Scotland - the Moray coast area - Nairn/Forres/Elgin - maybe a video from there? From yourself or SM.

    Nice to see you traveling with your wife & son. It is quite evident that you love Blair so dearly (is doting the right word? I do not know because English is not my mother tongue). Keep it up Scott. You and I are same age group but different cultures. 😊

    Dornoch is a pretty little town near several places of interest. At the right time of year salmon can be seen leaping up the Falls of Shin. Glad you got fine weather, but no - it is not the Caribbean, that is why you were all wearing jackets! I grew up near there so it was good to see the area again. Leakey's Bookshop, Inverness - well worth a visit.

    Firstly I'd ask, how many teenagers go with their parents on holiday? And secondly, how many would agree to appear on camera with their old man? So, well done Blair.
    But I'm not sure about the order of the trip. You travel south from Dornoch to Tain, then back up to Golspie, and back down to Inverness. I used to do the trip north from Manchester to Thurso regularly in the 90s, and the bit north of Inverness is ingrained on me! On one occasion I was at the front of a queue of traffic in heavy fog. Stevens of Wick HGVs thundered down the other side of the road and there was I struggling to find a place to pull in and let others pass. Eh? Nein!

    I remember having a very similar holiday up in that corner of Sutherland around 1998 or so. Can't remember the full details because I was young, but we definitely hit Dornoch, Tain, Dunrobin Castle, Bonar Bridge, Falls of Shin, Embo, Brora, Littleferry, we were even able to squeeze in a (long) day trip to Orkney as well.
    Also many years later I got to stay in Carbisdale Castle as well.
