Invergordon

Saturday, July 9

The ship docked in Invergordon, about an hour from the bigger city of Inverness, but we decided to spend the day in Invergordon after reading about what it had to offer. We started the tourist walk at the Museum, which was very good and filled us in on the history of the area. We continued our walk down the High Street, checking out the lovely old buildings and quaint shops. On many of the buildings murals had been painted depicting various subjects, and these were excellent.

After a pub lunch of fish and chips and a pint, we set off again and checked out the main church, a pop up craft market, and the rest of town. It started raining later in the afternoon, so we returned to the ship for another local music show with pipes, singing and dancing.  As we departed a band of pipers and drummers bade us farewell, and we so appreciated them playing for us in the steady rain that had set in. More wonderful memories of Scotland.
