Sooz took care of her back today by being on a heating pad most of the day. I took a short ride to a waterfall and a dam. I can't get enough of water.
The
Falls of Bruar, photo enlarged from a distance. I hiked about a mile from where I parked the bike and said that's enough. But I saw it. Robert Burns wrote a poem about these falls.
This is the same picture without enlarging the falls. It's in the middle left of the picture.
This is where I parked the GS and hiked to the falls
This is the
Pitlochry Dam on the River Tummel, part of a series of water management and transport structures throughout this part of Scotland.
This shows part of a fish ladder designed to help Atlantic salmon migrate in the River Tummel. The owner of our B&B says fish populations have declined in the last 5 years.
From the home of golf, this course is just down the road from our B&B.
We had dinner at the golf course cafe tonight and this is its menu, very typical of restaurants in Scotland, and the UK.
The owners of our B&B use this treacle when they make sticky toffee pudding. We tasted it and it is less sweet than typical caramel syrup used by some restaurants, which would be good.
This is the The Firs Blair Atholl B&B where we stayed 2 nights. It is very comfortable and (retired) Dr Lindsay Easton and Mrs Pauline Connolly (retired school teacher) made us feel at home and were great to talk with, If you are ever in this part of the world, Sooz and I can highly recommend staying here.
