      After waking up in our lovely hotel room in Aberdeen, we jumped in Fig and headed north. When we spotted signs for the Scottish Dolphin Centre at Spey Bay, we couldn't resist making a detour to check it out.

      We went for tea and biscuits in the Victorian Market which was both cute and strange at the same time.

      Nearby was a Clootie Well in the forrest, where people make offerings of clothing as part of a ritual to heal the sick.

      There were clothes everywhere and some had messages written on them. Though it was really colourful to look at, it was sad to think about the meaning behind it.

    The road got a little more dangerous as we headed further north with running quails and wild goat and otter warnings.

      We were staying in the Strathisla, a first class train carriage with it's own bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen. We loved the way it was updated to be cosy while retaining the trains original features.

      The owner was lovely and stamped our train tickets as we were checked in. We giggled as real trains pulled in to the station next to us while we were eating dinner.

      The stars came out as it got dark and Tom managed to take these amazing photos of them.
