It was a fast drive back to Pitlochry, stopping only to take this irresistible photo. I'd first noticed this when Ruth and I climbed Schiehallion in 2002 and had wished ever since that I'd taken a photographic record. A village with a name like Dull obviously has its work cut out for it in trying to attract tourists, but the promise of "Highland Adventure Safaris" might just tip the balance. I am of course wondering what exactly you can expect to happen on a Highland Adventure Safari - clearly I'll just have to go back to Dull some day and find out! Meanwhile I heard recently that Dull has been officially paired with the city of Boring, Oregon. Sounds like an exciting prospect all round... In the evening we went out for a great bar meal at the Moulin Hotel, which was recommended by Ruth and certainly lived up to expectations.
