The Inverness Highland Games are like a festival, taking place all over the Scotland on different weekends. So wherever whenever  in summer you are going, you will definitely see at least one.

On my way back from Orkney I took a ferry from Stromness to Thurso, then train Thurso-Inverness.

It was the best train ride I ever did. If not to count at Zermatt in Switzerland. When I ride a bike northbound, it was very spectacular. It was even more spectacular southbound through the train window, hm… I use the chair to dry my raincoat. I’m drinking coffee, looking through the window, and the raindrops, first time in a few months, are knocking the glass instead of my face.

I cycled to the beginning of Cycling Route 78, Caledonian Way, Great Glen Ways – this road have different names – and end up at The Inverness Highland Games. It’s like a festival, happened all over the Scotland on different weekends. So wherever whenever  in summer you are going, you will definitely see at least one.
