A few days away

I've been visiting Gairloch in Wester Ross for many years. We first went as a family and photos would suggest this was 1975 or thereabouts. I know the area from my camping, hillwalking and climbing days and more recently it's been posh hotels.

This was a quick stop at the side of the road on the way up. Near Achnasheen with showery clouds giving beautiful light.



Rain is not uncommon this far West and North and the rivers were full of movement.



An arboretum with over 200 species of tree. This one a Wellingtonia or Giant sequoia.



The first autumn leaves add a bit of colour to the river's flow. This was at The Stepping Stones Gallery near Dundonnel.

Stones on the beach at Mellon Udrigal.
