We had a friend up from London for the weekend as we went to Rockness 2009 at Dores. The festival and the weather were great and as always, we were in awe of the wonderful setting that this festival is held in. No doubt the Dores Inn had a good weekend!
On Monday, to help us chill out we decided to go over to Logie Steading, somewhere we had only seen in brochures. It is inland from Forres and only about 20 minutes from Caravan 109 at Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park.
It is a lovely setting and is made up of a converted barn steading. As you approach it the fields are full of Longhorn Cattle - a rare sight in the UK. In the Farm Shop you can buy Longhorn Cattle beef which is very dark in colour. We are trying out a couple of Rump Steaks tonight!! There is also a great Cafe with lots of homemade stuff. We had homemade Salmon Fish Cakes and Watercress and Leek Soups - mmmm!
There are lots of little shops dotted around the farm courtyard - a great second hand bookshop, a furniture restorer, the farm shop, a garden shop and a great textile gallery called Diva. It is a combination of textile designs and fabrics and well worth a visit. The ladies are very enthusiastic about their craft! Visit their website.
In addition to the shops there are several walks around Randolph's Leap, making it a great place for a day's visit.
