As it happens the only Harley I've here seen just now is on the back of a recovery vehicle, broken down it would seem. Very quiet everywhere, we are the only customers in the restaurant.
Yep, might check out that railway.
Had a wander earlier.

Again a rainy start to the day. Through the forests and hills of the Cairngorms.

Passed a few ski lifts. Some were open for the ride but the wife was having none of it.

Checked into a hotel at Pitlochry
Dont know if your planning to go into Angus but if you do I recommend looking at the caterhuns.
Also you will be able to see some of the pictish stones just left at road sides.
Also there is a place called reekie linn which is a waterfall.
Another great set and you weren't that far away from me on today's travels
Also if you are in Pitlochry and your good lady or yourself fancy some retail therapy - House of Bruar is worth a visit as is Blair castle in Blair Atholl
A walk through town.

Had dinner in an Italian tonight.
Wow! I never knew quite how diverse and beautiful Scotland really was. I've only ever ventured to Edinburgh and Sterling but it looks like me and the fiance might need to take a little road trip next summer.
Avoided the boring A9 and headed in the general direction of Perth on the smaller roads.

Then towards Edinburgh. The new bridge caused chaos on the M90 but Maps bypassed a lot of it.

Went to the riverside to see the old one.

I could get used to this place.
