Away

My latest escape is underway. 3 hours in the car, north to Speyside again. 

This time I have a cottage instead of a fancy hotel, and it is closest to Rothes - a 4 distillery town with 1,200 inhabitants. Glen Grant may be the best known of the distilleries. 

The cottage is a mile from the nearest main road, up a tiny single track farm road. The silence is total.

After I arrived I just dropped my stuff and headed to the coast for a walk on the beach at sunset. Ideal. Then I had fish and chips sitting outside in the twilight. Also ideal - it really hit the “I’m on holiday” button.
