I hope so too, Trefor! At one time, Hector Russell had three shops in Inverness, the large one across the River in Huntley Street being their HQ. I've not been to Inverness for some years and so am not up to date with the current situation I fear.
George or Harrison?
What about Ringo or Starr?
Sorry couldn't help making a Beatles connection!
Umm...... yes. Very droll, I'm sure! ! You and Robertson - what are you like, eh?
No, George Oag is the owner and Harrison (don't know his other name but, in the best kept houses, the staff are known only by their surnames!!!) has been coming in for years to assist with breakfasts and domestic duties.
If you decide to stay there, do tell them that "Hamish the Kiltman" recommended The Craigelachie. It may not get you a discount, but it might get me one!!!
