BrodieCountryfare

The thick frost and ice on the ground with temperatures well below zero did not put us off driving into Inverness for our shopping. We decided to have an awayday so we drove out of the city and onto the A96, passing through the quaint seaside town of Nairn. We aimed for the BrodieCountryfare, about 20 miles out of Inverness which we had not visited for some time. We were surprised to find both the car parks almost full and the place was heaving. The complex was very busy as it is a favourite haunt for tourists purchasing amazing gifts to take back home. There is also a food hall and deli with shelves full of Walkers scrumptious products and a restaurant which was just too busy and buzzing for us. We came out and drove home passing by this amazing railway viaduct with the backdrop of snow covered fields and clear blue skies - an omen of another chilly night with an amazing show of star constellations. We somehow managed to fall into the Cawdor Tavern on the way back home where we enjoyed a fish and chip lunch by the roaring fire. The road back via Daviot was stunningly beautiful but that is another story........so watch this space.
