When I lived in Nairn in the 1960's, I never even saw the Newton Hotel, far less step inside it, although I was aware at that time that Charlie Chaplin resided here for two or three weeks of most summers of that decade. I still remember seeing Chaplin in a wheelchair, being pushed round the streets of Nairn, quite happy knowing that no-one would bother him. There is a Chaplin Suite in the hotel, although that is not our accommodation!
Going out for dinner tonight with Gordon Main and his wife, Susan - to the Classroom Restaurant - Gordon's choice and located directly outside what used to be Nairn Academy, my old secondary school.
Quite heavy rain started mid afternoon, but had stopped by the time we left for the restaurant at 7pm.
Great night and excellent restaurant, followed by drinks at Uncle Bob's.
