Fort George, Nairn, Chanonry Point, & Craig Castle

We started our third day with Fort George, which is an active, extensive, barracks. There was a lot to see and I'd like to get back to see the rest of it. Then a wee stop at Nairn Beach and Harbour where there was the really good Wallace Bandstand. A wee bit away from this was an excellently realised memorial to the town's fisherwomen of past eras. Next a quick wee stop was had at Chanonry Point to see if we could spot some dolphins but it was so cold that we baled out pretty quickly. To end the day we chanced a visit to the 16th century Craig Castle, as out of the way as Auchendoune Castle had been the day before, and it was great. Although difficult to get to and fenced off, said fence had a gate so it could actually be accessed which was a nice surprise and saved me a break in attempt to get a good look at it.
