After our lovely stay at the Plockton Inn we decided to do a walk from Plockton up to Duncraig Castle and taking in the town from across the water. It was a lovely walk with views across the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland. Although the gates to the castle were closed and we didn't get to complete the full outlined walk. But we did have a quick peek going through the pedestrian gate at the side of the main gate to see the castle. Duncraig castle has lux...

We took in the history of the area along with photos of the beautiful landscape. The winding roads took us up to Portree where...

Continuing on we followed along Loch Ness, wound our along the Calendonia Canal and Loch Oich, down to a hid...

Sunday 8 JuneWhat a glorious day it's going to be today … the sun is shining, and it's predicted to be this way until late afternoon. Last night we decided to plan a longer walk today.
