Rainy Scotland and Glennfinnan Viaduct

Tired from the journey, we woke up late and explored the house a little bit. We set out for lunch in the the near-by town of Fort William. Rain was predicted for the whole day, limiting our options.

Since we did not manage to get tickets for the Jacobite train that runs from Ft William to Mallaig, we decided to, instead, go see the nearby iconic Glenfinnan viaduct which is made famous by a scene in the Harry potter movies. The rain deterred half the group, who stayed back in the car, but the other half braved a wet mile long easy hike to a viewpoint that gave us a rainy but spectacular view of the viaduct.

We hiked back to the car, enjoying the usual quota of laughter and admiring the mini waterfalls and waterways that were carrying away the rain water to the nearby river, which too had grown to a raging torrent.

Having had enough of the rain, we headed back to the cabin to enjoy some hot, fresh cooked dinner of rice, cauliflower poriyal and payattam paruppu masiyal, Yum!
