This is the Cairn Hotel in Aviemore. Inside it has tartan covered walls, deer antlers, and is decked out to look like a traditional castle interior. They also serve the traditional highlander fare of venison, highland 'coo', haggis, and fish. This place gets five stars in our book.

The handsome husband posing with armor in the Cairn. Note the raincoat. Good call on that! The forecast calls for 8 days of rain. No matter, we're going to have fun anyway! BTW before I forget, the highlands are chock full of wildlife. We've seen several wild pheasants which are quite beautiful, a coyote and a reindeer.
