A few weeks ago, Mom and Dad came up to Scotland for our 2023 Scottish road trip. The first week was spent in Nairn, which we visited last year, and we headed there on the Friday. We took the long way along the East coast, first stopping at Abroath, home to the famous Abroath Smokies.
It is a very small town but we found a restaurant on the harbour front for lunch.
On the walk around the harbour after lunch we saw an ad for the smokies, but it was the other side of a creek. It took a while to find the entrance which was basically an alley leading to a shed. We got some Smokies which were amazing and some lovely salmon.
The second stop was Dunotter castle near Stonehaven. We were planning on walking around it. There is a viewing area nearby which we went to first and changed our minds about going to walk around it. It is a very long walk down the cliff and then up again. It makes it a great place to put a castle, very defensible, but a bit too much effort for us at that point.
It was beautiful and when we were there there was an Italian wedding party having a little reception and photos up there and they had a piper. So very atmospheric.
It took another few hours to get to our caravan in Nairn so we didn't stay long. It was only the first leg after all.
