Storm clouds gathering

Today’s walk was along the riverbank in Inverness, lots of old interesting buildings and a view of the castle, sadly covered in hoardings and closed to the public.

Our next stop was to see one of Scotland’s most evocative prehistoric sites – the exceptional remains of an ancient cemetery, set on a terrace above the River Nairn.
The Clava Cairns are about 4,000 years old and were built to house the dead. The cemetery remained a sacred place in the landscape for millennia, and provides many clues to the beliefs of Bronze Age society.
What remains today would have once been part of a larger complex. Two parts of the complex, Balnuaran of Clava and Milton of Clava, are open to the public. The sites contain a range of prehistoric burial monuments and the remains of a medieval chapel.
My favourite of the day has to be the Culloden viaduct ( taken from a different angle).
Tomorrow we leave Inverness and head to our next stop just outside Edinburgh.
