Title: Scotland
Post by: Gorgeous_bird on June 09, 2012, 20:09:33 PM

Just back from a fab break in the Highlands (Glencoe). We had fab weather- I mean scorchio! The scenery- outstanding. Accommodation (Kentra cottage- Glencoe village) fab. The walking - hard! The real ale- delicious, but the pub was 2.5 miles from the cottage - needs must though   ;) http://www.clachaig.com/ The wildlife included deer, seals, woodpeckers, eagle things ( bl**dy big birds) and more. The gnats - loved Nick, but the Smidge spray worked like a dream - highly recommended and smells nice. A trip on the Jacobean train over the "Harry Potter" viaduct just amazing - the West coast if Scotland - WOW! What a memorable holiday, I loved Scotland and to visit my ancestoral home of Strontian made it all the more special. A great holiday.  :-*

Glad you loved it Abby.  Lucky you getting great weather too, it's usually dismal

Ah GB, Strontian! How lovely, in fact I love the whole of Ardnamurchin and the lighthouse is the most westerly point on the British mainland. It's a lovely part of the country.
We love the Clachaig Inn and the imprumptu jamming sessions when we've popped in for some falling down water after skiing at Glencoe.
I am fortunate to drive this route at least twice a month to visit my family just outside Fort William, and every day looks different depending on the weather.
The good weather we've had certainly helps, as it can be very "dreicht" in the rain!
 ;D

Loved it there when the sun shone and in some of the glens across the Highlands and Islands it gets too hot when your walking in to the foot of a Munro.Prefer the sun right enough but you've got to carry lots of water up to the tops 'cause there isn't any up high.
