Today we flew up to Inverness for our holiday in wee bonnie Scotland (to be said in a Scottish accent). The queue at Gatwick for all Easyjet flights was shocking, it pretty much snaked around the whole of the North Terminal but thankfully it did move quickly and we eventually dropped off our bags 45 mins later.
After a 90 minute flight we arrived at Inverness Airport and went to pick up our hire car for the week - the lady went to collect our car and we were slightly alarmed when she came back with a bright orange one - well at least we won't have any trouble trying to find it in the car park or forgetting what it looks like (just look out for the most garish car and we're sorted!).

The cottage we are renting is about a 30 min drive from the airport - I took a turn too early on the way there and we ended up driving along a road which could best be described as a track/path which was on the edge of a quarry (which was below us) but the trusty orange-mobile got us there in one piece.
The cottage is very nice, with lovely views of the countryside, and the owner had even made us some scones for our arrival!

Once we had settled in we drove to the local supermarket which was about 15 mins away to pick up some groceries and then decided to stop off for some fish and chips. The SatNav took us to a rough looking estate - we weighed up the options on whether it was worth getting beaten up by the hooded youths hanging around and decided, for fish and chips, yes it was and we bravely stepped out of the Orange-mobile and queued up with the locals. We noticed that everyone was asking for 'a supper' for example a fish supper or battered sausage supper (which was popular) and even a haggis supper so when we got to the counter and asked for 2 fish and chips the lady serving just looked at us - thankfully the man next to her translated for us and we finally got our fish and chips which were very tasty!
