Orkney at last ...

Friday dawned dry and bright, our trip through Perthshire and the North was uneventful, and the roads dry and clear, although the hills were pristine white as we headed into the highlands.  Our crossing across the Pentland Firth was pretty good considering the time of year.

Relieved to be back ...
