A beautiful start to the day, a little overcast but warm. We started with a delightful breakfast - homemade porridge with fresh fruit, followed by scrambled eggs (fresh from the cottages hens) and local made seeded sourdough toast, and green tea. I was so full, ready for a big day of walking. On recommendations from John, we decided our plan for the day. We headed north to Stac Pollaidh only 15min away from the cottage and rated in AllTrails as 'hard', 2.5miles ...

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.

The sun is shining and it's going to be a beautiful day. Soon after we woke we were packing our small back packs (rucksacks) and setting off to Portree. With our sunglasses on we admired the stunning landscape and made a super quick decision to stop at Glen Sligachan and the monument for two pioneers of the area, Collie and MacKenzie. We took in the history of the area along with photos of the beautiful landscape. The winding roads took us up to Portree where...
