Our drive to Inverness (Inver or Aber: Mouth of a river i.e. Inverness and Aberdeen being towns on the mouths of the rivers Ness or Deen, repectively) was initially meant to start with a layover in a town on the way then continued the following morning so we could appreciate some of the countryside we were travelling through. This quickly changed when every small town we turned off to, with their thick fog and small windy rural roads, reminded us more of the Blair Witch Project than a safe haven to sleep.
