Dark Dornoch Walk
Dornoch keeps some strange stories, and as the nights draw in its museum takes you round the town to hear them.

Logie Steading, on the Logie Estate at Dunphail near Forres, makes a lovely setting for an afternoon with a camera. On Sunday 1 November the photographer Gary Murison leads a relaxed two-hour walk round the steading and its garden, setting small tasks along the way and sharing tips to improve your pictures. It suits every age and every level, and a phone or a tablet is as welcome as a camera. Meet under the clock tower at the entrance at 1pm. It costs £20 for over-16s and £15 for 13 to 16, and children of 12 and under go free with a paying adult. Booking is needed, by email or phone through Gary Murison Photography.
