Applecross to Dornie

From Applecross, we took the longer coastal route back, heading around a scenic drive which was still quite technical, on narrow winding roads. The views continued to amaze, thanks in part to the blue sky and equally blue seas.


The towns from Applecross onwards were tiny, there was no petrol on offer for a long while. Apart from tourists, the only company we had along the way were highland cattle which are impressive creatures with their long hair and big horns.


How would you like to live in a spot like this?


Helen had a drink bottle of "Highland Water" which was empty. It was bottled in some town. She wanted the real thing from a mountain stream, guess who the mug was who had to get it? The water was fresh and cool and lived up to expectations.



Eventually we found petrol, then headed back across roads we had already been on, as we moved towards Eilean Donan Castle. But just look at these lochs, they're all beautiful and they all look like this.
