We have just returned from two weeks holiday in Scotland.The first three nights were spent in Benderloch from where we visited Mallaig, Arisaig and Port Appin.
From there we travelled via the Glen Elg ferry and the Skye Bridge to Knockfarrel which is off the beaten track between Strathpeffer and Dingwall.
We stayed here for a week in wonderful weather and from where we travelled in all directions enjoying the Scottish countryside. Our itinerary included visits to Loch Garten and Spey Bay, The Falls of Shin and Inverpolly nature reserve returning via Ullapool and a day trip to Skye with an evening meal in Plockton.
Our final two days involved a visit to Glen Strathfarrar and Glen Affric followed by an exciting morning watching dolphins from Chanonry Point on the Black Isle.
We left the Highlands to spend three nights in Juniper Green near Edinburgh from where we visited the city centre and Botanical gardens.
Our journey home was enhanced by a visit to the Grey Mares Tail (waterfall) and Moffat.
