Sorry, ...Cathy, Ive just stumbled across this post. Sorry, sorry, not paying attention! Anyhow, you've reminded me that Beneath the Abbey Wall was set all around here --so the kirkyard (churchyard) in the book was the one on the walkway down to the Greig Street bridge. Steps in my day, and I am so glad you visited the town --so much bigger 3 times the size, since my childhood, but the river never changes, not the castle, but the Gaelci church now a bookshop, that I never envisaged.<br />Aa' the best,<br />Deborah (A.D.

I can't believe did that - you see I was looking for art materials and actually walked past Leakey's on the other side of the road, meant to look in and didn't!!! But looking on the bright side we hope to go back for another visit - and I definitely will be going into Leakey's.<br /><br />I agree about Inverness being a great shopping centre by the way. I was impressed. On our way back to Coylumbridge where we were staying we drove along the shore of Loch Ness, so beautiful even on a cloudy day.
