What we did on our holidays.

Riverside - our holiday cottage
Last week end we got back from a great holiday in Morar, way up on the west coast of Scotland. Now, some would say that the first week of March isn’t the greatest time to visit this part of the world weatherwise, and if that is so, then we were very lucky! Sure it rained, and snowed, and hailed and the wind blew up a storm a couple of times. But there were enough breaks to make for fantastic days out, and our holiday cottage, Riverside, right on the white sands of Morar, was a real treat. Just wander down the garden to the beachand stroll along the sands for great views across to Rum, and some fascinating beachcombing. A great area to get away from it all, with access to Moidart, Knoydart and a lovely rail link into Fort William.

So here are some holiday snaps...

Beachcombing - tide coming in!

Reflections in Loch Eilt

Glenfinnan


Glenfinnan viaduct - constructed in 1897 in solid concrete!

Castle Tioram, a gem of a castle guarding Loch Moidart.

Above Loch Morar - just before this photo was taken we had been caught in a stinging hailstorm!


All in all a great break and our batteries thoroughly recharged. And whilst thinking of photographs, we have new photos of the month over in the Gallery.

Toodle pip for now
