Friday 13 June - Gairloch to Ullapool The sun is out with lots of blue skies ahead and a predicted temperature in Ullapool of 21, so we headed for Ullapool with a planned stop to walk to a waterfall. The views along the drive were outstanding and we pulled into a small parking area and viewing point of the Inverewe. It was very windy here and we took some quick photos before hopping back in the car continuing our way. The trail to the Inverianvie River Waterfal...

But we did have a quick peek going through the pedestrian gate at the side of the main...

We took in the history of the area along with photos of the beautiful landscape. The w...

Monday 9 June - Glengarry Castle Hotel & Broadford Travel day! And rainy day so a perfect travel day.
