After coffee we went to the Lochcarron Weavers, purveyors of all things authentically tartan including kilts and traditional Scottish wear. Found that the Mackenzie Tartan is available in Weathered, Ancient and Modern. Preferring the weathered (based on traditional, naturally obtained dyes) I ordered a family sash and of course acquired some other bits and pieces. The tiny kilts and skirts were so cute…as was the Beatrix Potter tartan.
Explored the ruins of Strome Castle…just so picturesque…before a good walk around Gracie’s Cottage and Loch Kishorn. The prolific growth of the seaweeds is amazing and the 6 metre tidal range allows for great exploration of the pebbly, rocky seaweed lined shores.
