The Sunday route was a drive north, towards Boat of Garten, then onto Grantown on Spey, then down to Balmoral. The weather was very pleasant, and as we pulled off the A9 onto the A95, the road ran by the River Spey on a glorious sunny afternoon. What followed, once we went south from Grantown, was an amazing drive, which in my view, of all the drives I’ve been on, is just short of the Cook Highway from Cairns to Port Douglas and on to Daintree and Cape Tribulation, and a little way short of the Great Ocean Road. But it was still a bit special. Up and down, hairpins, great scenery, lovely crisp air. A pity I could not take many pictures.

Between Lynmore and Bridge of Brown is a little layby… and the views were great…

A pity about the pylon

The Last Of The Mountains... For Now

These are all the beloved’s pictures… I was too busy driving and speaking to the brother at the time.
