- Knockan Crag geological trail, Oldany fish trap and harbour, Suilven, Ardvreck Castle
- You have a great eye, Mark.
- Thank you 👍🙂
- The view at the house we are staying at near Oldany, Assynt. It’s very restful and quiet except for the motor homes ploughing along the NC500 route with varying degrees of driving skill on show 🙂
- Lots of Deer in the Culag Woods. Found a wishing tree 🙂
- Had a walk up to the Kirkaigh Falls along the poet Norman MacCaig’s memorial trail to the waterfall and Suilven beyond. A doubly emotional walk as Gill would have loved this up through the woodland & along the river. Norman was a family friend from the mid 70’s onwards until he died in 1996.
- The Bone Caves S. of Inchnadamph in the Durness limestone. The cave system formed over 200,000 years ago. Bones of Lynx, Polar Bear, Arctic Fox, Lemming, Wolf & more have been found since 1889. The caves were also used as shelters by humans 8000 years ago. I was greeted by 2 Ravens & a Peregrine 🙂
- The Traligill Caves - Scotlands most extensive cave system. Beautiful walk up to these caves from Inchnadamph, Assynt
- Two for the Tin Shed Appreciation Society in Elphin, Assynt
- So many Early Purple Orchid on the hills today above Loch Assynt
- Currently touring Assynt in the Scottish Highlands. Haven’t been here since we were living on the east coast near Tain. I had forgotten just how impressive the mountains are and the geopark trails are great. Past Suilven and Quinag today and a mooch round the fishing village of Lochinver and Stoer.
