Scottish Tour – Fort William
After meeting up with Moira and her friend Lewis we walked up Fort William High Street giving out some books and were met with a lot of hostility and damn right rudeness.

Ullapool has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful towns in Scotland so we headed up there to see for ourselves as well as being able to show the scene to you guys. It was a bit late by the time we got there but thankfully we found a place to sleep…….and it was a very isolated one.
I thought Emma would like to see an empty field with some flags in it so I took her to Culloden where Bonnie Prince Charlies army was squashed by the English Army (and some Scottish Clans) and some flags and tombstones were placed there as a reminder.
I have heard a lot about Findhorn over the years as apparently it had a spiritual community there which people like Mike Scott of The Waterboys have attended. However, we didn’t see much evidence of that when we got there, instead we saw a long empty windy beach.
We continued along the coastline to a very special place called Cove Bay. It appears listed as one of Scotland’s top ten hotspots on many lists so I dragged Emma on another walk but thankfully we reached our destination on this one, unlike the mysterious Castle in Cullen.
In Lossiemouth I had a heated debate with guys doing swab tests from a mobile van. The scenery was pleasant too as RAF jets flew overhead.
