Castle Leod (1)
I have continued my journey south, but rather than following the A9 back across the Cromarty Firth, I have continued to Dingwall and then turned up Strath Peffer for a distance of some 3 miles.  This shot looks west towards the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer (known locally as The Strath).  In the left foreground, things are getting under way for the Strathpeffer Highland Gathering, and to the right, nestled against the trees, is Castle Leod - a particularly fine tower-house.

(In the far left distance, there is a little pink blob, which I have marked on the photo, which is the newly, and beautifully restored Fairburn Tower.)
