Left the Isle of Skye and headed to the mainland to see the iconic and much photographed Eilean Donan Castle which was very pretty. Drove through more fertile and wooded country to the picture postcard village of Plockton (where Hamish Macbethh was filmed!) where the sun came out and we had a lovely afternoon exploring the village and going on a boat trip personally skippered and hosted by Callum (there were 3 of us on the whole boat) to see the seals on the loch. We managed to spot the elusive otter and Callum was very excited! We continued driving through gorgeous scenery following the edge of Loch Carron and through a high pass with a waterfall to Loch Kishorn and the hamlet of Archintraid where we settled into Gracies Cottage. Magnificent views across the Loch to the Bealach Na Ba, an impressive range constantly changing in moods with the sunshine, clouds, shadows and rain. Stunning!
