We drove up via Cumbria/Northumbria to stay by Hadrian’s Wall, but surely the strangest part of the trip was the Lonach Highland Games. We were particularly taken by the Qualifying Heavies.

Yes, our famous tour of the frozen North. Winter is coming… if only we’d known.
First we went to Durham (this was before the snow) and stayed in the fantastic Victoria Inn. The snow started falling while we were in Edinburgh. Things were serious by the time we reached Aberdeenshire.
Highlights from our travels on Mainland, Hoy and Papa Westray (Papay). On Papay we stayed at School Place with Jim and Morag Hewitson who were excellent hosts and supplied the best dinners we had on the trip (is it still going?)
