The Games that were missed

Today is Glen Urquhart Highland Games… and I have managed to miss it! The plan was to head down, Jen was travelling over from house sitting in Dornie and then we would go along… but a massive crash near Cluanie has sent her on a massive diversion around Plockton (after sitting stationary for a couple of hours) which is a 2.5 hour diversion plus extra traffic time. I have spent most the day trying to give directions around the worst of it, and haven’t really left the house except to get some drain cleaner from the ScotMid in the village. To be fair, that was enough… it is absolute carnage here too. The tourists this year seem to be a different breed to normal, there is an attitude about so many of them of entitlement that has made it a really tough summer. The end is in sight now though, and I can’t wait for tranquillity to return to the Highlands.

Beyond that it has been another slow work week. The schools returned on Tuesday and I had hoped for some pent up demand but it hasn’t happened yet… maybe next week… maybe the week after… who knows!

Anyway, here is a selection of the photos from this week.
