Then up to town to tick spoons 283 , muckle cross 

Then off to the footy 

Elgin City 0 v Kilmarnock 1  - Borough Briggs - ground 527 

After I arrived at the ground,  I waa surprised to find out the clubhouse let away fans in , so a pint was in order. 

Supper pint then made way into ground 

Killie were down to 10 men just before HT but thankfully grabbed a last minute winner ! It was a hard slog back down to the station 

But thankfully made the 17.39 back to Inverness then back to hotel for the night
