Had a great week off last week, exploring parts of the far north and the Moray coast! Particularly memorable was the walk from Kildonan to Helmsdale. Also discovered the seaboard villages near Tain, which I loved!
Selfie on a bridge over the River Ness in central Inverness. Looking down the Kildonan Burn, near Kildonan station. Looking southwards along the Easter Ross coast from Balintore, with the Moray coast visible on the horizon. A view over Elgin from the viewpoint on Lady Hill.
