Please do! (off-line at your leisure) Thanks for the wealth of info 
Piers. Sorry if we miss you. We pick up the car May2 and return it in 
Stirling before the flight home so won't be returning to Inverness. The 
plan is a loop up and over to Islands and Glencoe area and ??
  I'm sure we will be asking for more suggestions.

Well our house would have been under 2000m of ice just 10-15k years ago. 
There are grooves in the rock in front of the house indicating the 
direction of flow. Removing erratics (damn Canadian "immigrants") was 
backbreaking work for the first settlers many of whom were Scots. The 
piles and fence rows still remain, some still growing. The soil is more 
conducive to "raising" erratics than other crops ;)
