We woke up and had a nice breakfast before heading out to see Inverness. There wasn’t a whole lot to see in the city center besides some shopping, so we mostly just wandered around looking at the old buildings. We took a stroll next to the river and stopped to read the monuments along the way. There are A LOT of monuments all over the country. Many of them are monuments to foreigners who assisted Scotland in some way, but most seem to pay tribute to military heroes. After about an hour of exploring, we headed back to the car to be on our way.
After Culloden, we had to drive to Edinburgh. Finally, Aaron had a nice relaxing drive. Granted, it was over 3 hours long, but there were 2 lanes on several parts of it. We were low on gas for the first 2 hours, and gas stations only seemed to pop up every hundred miles. So, Aaron had that to freak out about for a while, but it was still the best drive of the trip.
Our last hotel was described as an “intimate boutique hotel”. We took that to mean “tiny”. It had been a long day of driving, the parking was questionable, and it was a struggle to get our bags through the narrow labyrinth of our hotel hallways. The last thing we wanted was an “intimate” hotel room. Thankfully, we opened the doors to one of the nicest hotel rooms we’ve been in! High ceilings with a large bay window and fantastic view. An incredibly pleasant surprise.
We got some dinner and spent the rest of the night wandering around Edinburgh. It’s a beautiful old city with incredible architecture. We ended up walking about 6 miles while exploring until we realized that, though it was still light outside, it was already 10 PM. We were a little disappointed we didn’t get to spend more time here, but we took in as much as we could. This was our last stop before we head home.
