A weekend in Lochcarron in beautiful Wester Ross. Lochs, mountains, a beautiful cottage belonging to friends, down by the water. Beach games, fresh seafood, one of the most stunning drives in the country over the Bealach na Ba to Applecross, paddling a kayak around Lochcarron, doing jigsaws, watching Wimbledon, knitting. Just stepping back from life for a couple of days - fabulous.
The cottage is on the Stromeferry road - helpfully signposted to avoid confusion since the ferry stopped in the 1970s. Although sometimes there is a ferry, like earlier this year when landslides closed the A890 for months, and Highland Council pressed a cruise boat and the Glenelg ferry into service for the 10 minute crossing that saved a 140 mile road detour. I love the Highlands.
