It is a beautiful day in Thurso, the northern most town on mainland Scotland, on September 18 . The temperature is about 70F and Lynn and I are walking on a street near the ocean front. Two women, close to our ages, are walking towards us without jackets and one smiles and says in her local accent, ” The long anticipated summer has arrived at last.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a nice morning walking around town and headed back to where a taxi was to take us to the train station for a 1:05 train to Inverness and then on to Kingussie arriving about 6:30. At the station we find out train is cancelled and we won’t be leaving until 4:30 and arriving at Kingussie about 9:30, after the kitchen closes at the hotel! We called McKinlay Kidd to see what they could do. They called the hotel to let them know about our situation. After a while they reported back that the hotel would have some snacks for us. There are several people going to that hotel. We’ll see what happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
