"Nothing to see there", is the expert advice of our 'Travel guide'. Take a bus and go for a ride around the countryside'. The weather is fine, but we have seen enough sheep and greenery, so we walk up to the tourist office and get some tourism advice from the locals. We find a small town with streets lined with houses more than hundreds of years old carefully maintained, a big cathedral ricly ecorated from the 1200,. a small cemetery -we read the gravestones. The town had benefited from trade and the church has many plaques and paintings from various donors. Across the cathedral there is an impressive Bishop's House.
Then there is the Museum, like the one in Inverness displaying a collection of local archeological finds and some original a7 and 18 cent. furniture.
Ther is also a garden surrounding the museum with local plants.
Even the tourist store is tempting.
