Urquhart castle on a Sunday didn’t work out. Although there is a reasonable sized car park, it was almost full when we arrived. The couple of available spaces would not accommodate MS2. Coaches get their own area, but jobsworth would not let us in even though the coach park was nearly empty. So we had to give Urquhart a miss and carry on to Inverness.
No drone flying permitted around Urquhart, but at a lay-by up the road we had a cheese and biscuits lunch and a brief flight of the Mavic. It was short-lived though – Airmap suggested the airspace was fine, but it was only a couple of minutes after takeoff that the DJI app warned of an airspace issue, so the flight was curtailed. We have a still of the mothership on the banks of Ness and that’s about it!
Our Inverness campsite is about 2 km outside the town behind a motorhome dealer. It is expensive at £28 per night, but this seems to be the new normal for us. A good day exploring the town and a walk by the river in the afternoon. A trip to A&E for T due to ‘hurty-finger’. We explored the Tomnahurich cemetery and walked the canal to the Inverness locks. Tourist trap of the castle viewing platform (although it was only a fiver) and a visit to the museum rounded off the day.
