yes i have years ago. even ventured on to the moor, amazing.
planning on going again next summer. who knows might take my camera with me
want to go see Eilean Donan castle on the west coast, that will be good to see.
The A9 must be the worst road in history, I hate it, just because it's so boring, I know the scenery is lovely but after an hour that soon goes out the window. Culloden is really chillin when you think about what happened there.
A cool place to go if you are ever on the east coast is Dunrobin Castle just next to golspie, you take the A9 north towards wick. They have a falconry show and the castle and grounds look amazing. It's haunted aswell.
