Bonny Strathspey
Just back from a holiday in lovely Strathspey. It's one of the best holidays I've had in years so I expect I'll be writing a few bits and pieces about that area over the next couple of weeks. In summary we hired a cottage in Nethybridge and spent most of the week alternating between paid entrance attractions and free woodland walks and outdoors stuff. If you're looking for a family holiday location in Scotland then Strathspey has to be pretty high on your list.

Dulnain Bridge Getting Back On The Map
There's an interesting article in the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald about the fight by the residents of Dulnain Bridge to get their village back on the maps. It seems that more and more, Dulnain Bridge is just not shown on maps.
It wasn't always the way though. The bestselling author of the 1920's and 30's, Maurice Walsh used Dulnain Bridge as the location for the start of one of his books. Can't remember which book it was, but the area was well described in the start of the book. (One of the main characters was swept away in the river whilst fishing and the hero had to go and rescue them if I remember right).
I've spent a week or two on holiday there and it really is a glorious location.
Good luck to the residents with their fight.
