A perfect morning for travelling to our cottage at Balmacara. The Loch was very still as I paid it a last visit and took some photos.
We then trod a well worn path down past Loch Maree and then along Glen Torridon for a coffee in the Torridon Shop Cafe, the best in Scotland bar none. We had plenty of time to spare so we carried on over The Bealach na Gaoithe (The Pass Of The Wind) and down to Lower Diabaig. We had just travelled over 40 miles by road yet we were less than ten miles from our starting point as the crow flies.
We both love this hidden gem, it used to be a thriving fishing port but now is only used for landing langoustines for the posh hotels and foreign trade. It does have an Inn/Restaurant and a scattering of houses which I should imagine are holiday lets and it is also the starting point to the coastal path to the beaches of Red Point and beyond.
We returned to Torridon and followed The Wester Ross Coastal Route to Glen Sheil,which was only a few miles from our holiday let.
Once unpacked, I took a beer outside and sat in the garden watching a marvelous sunset over Skye.
