The imposing Cawdor Castle south-west of Nairn, traditional home of the Thanes of Cawdor. According to tradition it was built from 1370 around a hawthorn tree whose trunk can still be seen in the castle cellars.

#Walking at #Nairn in a variety of environments including: harbour, river, rural, woodland, town, golf course, and coast. The “Brighton of the North" is reputedly one of the driest and sunniest spots in #Scotland … 😎
I keep coming across abandoned footwear in public places. The pair of what look like perfectly good boots which I found today in #Elgin seems particularly odd.
@jbenjamint ... which is exactly how it's been rolled out in the Highland Council area (funded by ScotGov).

It was just going to be a gentle stroll and back to the beach. Instead we went along the beach playing stick and swims as we went. I didn't do the swims, but Skye might have. Just a bit, and some.
It takes a little finding but is well worth the effort. The unusual Ardclach Bell Tower, in a remote upland area south east of Nairn, was built in 1655. Originally a fortified retreat, it later became a detached bell tower for a nearby church. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/nairn/ardclachbelltower/index.html
