Unfortunately another away defeat. We had been hoping to reach the playoffs but that won’t happen now Maybe next year. It was a good day out and over 2200 Luton fans made the journey to Roots Hall.

Two nights in Aviemore came next, where we got the funicular railway to the summit of Cairn Gorm to look for ptarmigan. We were going to meet Danny in York on the way back home. As I had missed Black Grouse at Tulloch Moor I decided to stop at a site for them near Dunkeld on the way south. Almost immediately that we turned on the minor road here I spotted one in the field next to the road. Best views i have ever had of one!

We then drove to the Isle of Lewis, firstly to Stornoway to look for Iceland Gulls in the harbour. There were at least 5 around the harbour and whilst there a White Tailed Eagle flew over. Later in the day we drove to Tiumpan Head and the Butt of Lewis. There was a white Billed Diver off of Sgigersta Harbour. The following day it was the early morning ferry to Ullapool, and then a drive out to Stoer Head. We then took the road across the top of Scotland in mainly rainy conditions until the evening when it brightened up a bit. We stopped to look at Smoo Cave and stayed the night in Tongue. The next day was a lovely sunny day and we were able to see how nice an area Tongue was, we even drove back the way we had come the previous day to see the scenery in better conditions.
