A relatively straight forward day in prospect on Sunday: three long legs down the east coast of Scotland. And when I say long, I mean long – the first leg to Inverness will take over four hours, and the second leg to Aberdeen is almost as long. By comparison, the final leg of the day to Montrose is a wee titchy one lasting just under two hours.
You may have noticed a rather lengthy spell in Aberdeen. This is intentional. I am planning to find a pub showing the football, in order to watch Everton in the FA Cup semi final. I have to catch the 1825 departure on service 107, penalties or not. Can't help thinking how spectacularly ill-timed this trip is already. At least I am demonstrating the usefulness of catching the bus into town on leisure – no risk of being caught drink-driving.

OpenStreetMap is good for finding pubs in University towns and cities. The Old Kings Highway (off Rennies Wynd) and the Market Arms (on Stirling St off Guild Street) are the most obvious
