Day 6 - Kinlochleven to Fort William (16 miles)
... wasn't much left. I was wondering if this was the area that they were clearing when Pippa did the walk 6 years ago, if it was, I was hoping they might have replanted it by now ;-) Just as I approached another open area of the walk it started to snow, and quite heavy.

Back on the boat for the return trip we got hot chocolate and saw lots of seals sitting on the rocks in the freezing cold water.

Scotland - Skye and Highlands

The next day we headed out to Laggan (the bottom of Lochness), via a round trip of Skye, which was another breath taking drive through the gorgeous views of Scotland. We had some stunning weather so got to take some great photos whilst driving along ...
