Started the day with a surprise text from the neighbours Adele and Graham who we met for coffee, of course, at Sligachan Hotel. Amazing to see them all the way over here in Scotland! Driving along the road I spotted some more Highland Cows or “Coos” as the Scottish might say! I love them! Continuing on our way we drove out to Glen Brittle where the beach was blown and rained out and settled for another coffee in the pop up coffee shop. A good call by myself if I do say so as we then had clearer conditions to traverse up the wide, grassy valley tracing the path of a stream and the gorgeous and most picturesque fairy pools…my swimmers were packed but once again ideas thwarted by the Scottish weather and I wore my down coat under my showerproof jacket! Finished the day with a ‘big night out’ at the Old Inn at Carbost for dinner and traditional music. While I chatted to the guys at the bar who later turned out to be the musicians, April entertained the 3 private school boys going into year 9 who were camping with their dads! Thoroughly enjoyed the music and a few Talisker Skye Whiskies! Saw a one legged Scot and drank more whiskey!
