The Scottish Adventures of a Cruise Ship Addict

26/11/2023

I was over at Cromarty this afternoon. If you’ve ever been to Invergordon by ship, you’ll have come past this spot and travelled down by the oil rigs. Beautiful full moon!

Up at 2.30am and I was greeted by the lovely Lady Aurora!

If you’re watching Fun Loving Brits at Sea on Channel 5 (yes, I know, a load of rubbish but it’s got a cruise ship on it!!!), here’s pictures of the ship they use on the tv programme. She’s Regal Princess and she’s in Invergordon today!
Instead of having lunch with the cruise ship, Evie and I had ice cream with her!

The Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar, both in Orkney

I found a new spot in Invergordon to spot cruise ships! The lovely lady in today was Oceania Cruises Marina. She looked beautiful basking in the Scottish sunshine!

Overlooking the Port of Nigg at the Cromarty Firth where they are making wind turbines. In the last picture, the cruise ship Viking Venus is a tiny speck in the background as she visits Invergordon.

A beautiful way to start the morning! Breakfast looking onto the entrance to the Cromarty Firth. If you visit Invergordon by cruise ship you’ll travel through the gap and past the oil rigs!

Gorgeous lunch at The Seaboard Cafe on the Easter Ross Peninsula! Broccoli and Cheese Soup, Brie and Cranberry Toastie and Skinny Fries. Yum!!!

The Aurora Borealis showed her true colours tonight! She was beautiful!

Scottish Cruise Ship Addict on tour! A day trip to Edinburgh.
Had a magical lunch at Brewhamia, just outside Waverley Station, then off to the Edinburgh Zine Fest at the Fruitmarket and The City Arts Centre.

All set up for the craft fair at Strathpeffer Pavillion!

The most wonderful roasted pepper and tomato homemade soup at The Seaboard Centre Cafe. It was so good I began it eat it before I took the picture! The Brie and cranberry toastie was excellent too!!
Great food, great cafe, great view! You really should visit!

Tea and fabulous cakes at my favourite spot yesterday! Overlooking Invergordon, there’s only one thing missing… seeing a cruise ship in port! Roll on March 2023!!!

Instead of cruise ships, the Port of Cromarty Firth has an oil rig berthed at the main terminal! What an unusual surprise!

Last night, Eden Court Theatre, Inverness, played host to With Love to Ukraine: a selection of entertainment from both Ukraine and the Highlands. An amazing show and very poignant.

The other day, I was at one of my favourite cafe, The Jammy Piece, which is by the side of Caledonian Canal. Excellent food and lovely staff.

I took the chance to visit the Port of Nigg today. No cruise ships until April but at least the Rig Well Safe Protector has move. Beautiful views down the Cromarty Firth!
