You can't see me

Todays walk took me from Fochabers to Craigellachie. A large part of the walk was actually along back roads and then turned into woodland. One of the places the guide book suggested to turn off was at the earth pillars just outside Fochabers, a geological feature along the banks of the river. Having made the detour I can only describe the experience as underwhelming - you couldn't actually see them as they are overgrown with vegetation. If you look in my extras you will see some smart alec's response (it wasn't me,honest!)
Approaching Craigellachie you come to a very quaint old pub called the Fiddichside Inn which is run by an old man and his son. I dropped in for a wee G&T which I imbibed beside the river, in the sunshine. This picture was taken from the bridge just beyond the pub. This beautiful deer was grazing below me and the picture was taken just as she noticed I was there.
Stayed in a lovely guest house called The Bridge View in Craigellachie and had my evening meal at The Highlander which is owned by a Japanese man and so, along with the vast array of Scottish Whiskies, there was an interesting selection of Japanese whiskies too.
My other extra is the bridge at Craigellachie, designed by Thomas Telford.
