The room was comfortable. The staff were courteous and welcoming. It was disappointing that there wasn’t a cooked breakfast on offer but understandable as the refurbishment is ongoing.

Beautiful beach, in Scotland!!!

Aerial view of Mallaig, a port in Lochaber, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland

Mallaig

A clear blue sky over the Glenfinnan monument. A rare sight in Scotland. Makes for a good tourism shot, but maybe not a landscape award. :-) This location is found by walking up to the Glenfinnan Viaduct view point. All signposted, then continue up the path until you see the view. Not a hard climb.
