Culloden Battlefield 09:29 am
OK, I have uploaded some more images from my trip to Culloden yesterday. I've even had leisure to annotate most of them on the Gallery page for my trip to Culloden. (Gradually expanding.)

I found it very difficult to sleep last night, and am really terribly tired, so I arranged to stay in this room another night, and am currently sitting in bed, watching Jeeves and Wooster on TV and doing this, in preparation for going back to sleep for a bit.

Later I shall go out, and do some sightseeing in Moray, but you know, I'm on holiday, and I didn't sleep well last night; sometimes one can allow oneself the luxury of a nice lie-in, especially if one has undertaken for the occupation of a lovely bed in an utterly lovely room in a Victorian mansion near the northern coast of Scotland.

Current Location: The Pines Guest House, Elgin, Moray, Scotland

Swings and roundabouts 07:14 pm
So, this afternoon, I got back into my car, after taking some photos, and it beeped at me and a bunch of warning lights came up and wouldn't go away.

An afternoon of frustrations and irritations and a trip to Inverness Airport branch of Europcar later, and I have exchanged my car for another one.

In place of my petrol-powered Toyota Avensis, I now have a diesel-powered Audi. I feel this does go some way towards making up for the hassle of emptying the Toyota of all my luggage and travel supplies and going to Inverness and back from Elgin.

While all my crap is unloaded from the car into my B&B room, I'm going to rearrange things a little, I think, for more efficiency and tidiness within the car.

Shopping update, though: I stopped at the mill shop for Johnson's Cashmere and bought a pair of cashmere armsocks, a matching cashmere scarf, and an Authentic Shetland Rug in heather colours.

This is my room for last night and tonight:
