I want to go back please Mr deskie make it happen. Don't forget the quick link to Aberdeen for a bit more civilisation only an hour to the granite city by train. I always found family were put off by the A9 and I never pointed out how easy it is to fly to Inverness or Aberdeen. Some of the best countryside in the UK and you are not that far from Ski resorts in the Highlands only about 45min-1hour providing the roads are clear.
