Hello and Welcome back to my Blog 😊.

Today, I thought that I would share with you some more of the walks that I did in The West Highlands of Scotland.

A visit to the Glencoe visitor centre was very informative with a particularly good film about the history of Glen Coe (once an active volcano). The Scottish National Trust run the centre and have built a super replica of a traditional Highlanders cottage.

There is a good café, an excellent souvenir shop and a couple of cute Highland Cows. We took a walk through woodland paths from the visitors centre to the village of Glencoe, visited the scenic ‘Hospital Lochan’ and then on to the famous Clachaig Inn for a pint (£6 a pint!). It was an 8 mile walk. The Wee Beasties i.e the Midges were not too active on this holiday which was good.

On another day we took the Corran ferry across Loch Linnhe to the Ardgour peninsular. Starting from the village of Strontian we ascended an ancient coffin-carrying route to Bealach nan Cairn. The ground was very boggy and we had rain but nice views between the swirling mist.

We descended passing through the long-abandoned Bellgrove lead mines before passing through the Ariundle Nature Reserve.

Our final stop was at the Tea Shop in the Ariundle Centre – a nice spot.

Happy Walking! 😊🚶‍♂️
