I promised I'd post a few photos from our recent holiday to Ullapool in Scotland, so here they are:

Stopping at Loch Linnhe on the way up.....no wind at all and the water was glass smooth:

OH posing by the Loch...

Me taking photos...

Eilean Donan Castle on Loch Duich (still on our journey North)

Finally arriving at Ullapool...all in bazing sunshine:

our holiday cottage:

and again on the last day of the holiday...not so sunny (but it didn't matter then):

We did loads of walking....the area has vast areas of lochans and moorland, and odd shaped mountains:

Stac Pollaidh (I walked along the ridge on this one )

And here's me cooling my feet at the end of the walk.....

More walk piccies....

The final climb to the top... :b

These are the bits the dogs would have loved...the fantastic sandy bays:

What else did we see......

lots of lovely sunsets....

and loads of wildlife...

These seals followed us a windy coastal walk:

.....they were really nosey

A cormorant nesting on the cliff (I took care not to disturb it):

A heron (couldn't get a close up....so not very sharp):

Loads of frogs on our hill walks...we nearly trod on a few:

and finally some misc shots:

This 'brook' was close to the cottage...

They are breathtakingly beautiful photos.

We are so lucky to have landscapes like that here, I really must get up to Scotland for more than a day for a dog show!

Superb photos, Nicola. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I love the 'brook' and the black and white one with the boat. The sandy bays are just gorgeous. :wub: :wub: :wub: We didn't get as far north as Ullapool - perhaps another year.

My Scotland pics are not nearly as good (I blame my little camera :- ). I took a few of Eilean Donan Castle on different days with different weather conditions, which were interesting.

I'd love to see your pictures of Eilean Donan. My one is fairly bog standard taken from the car park. :b I'd love to have had time to wander around and try different angles, and it would look great on a stormy day, with loads of atmosphere.

I'm not surprised you didn't get as far as Ullapool really. You did loads of travelling around, much more than we've done over a couple of trips to Scotland. It's a good 4-6 hours from the Castle, depending on the route you take. Well worth it though :thumbsup:

Wonderful photos.We are very blessed with our stunning country.If you ever want to bring the dogs ,we quite often hire a cottage right on the edge of Loch Melfort which has a private beach and garden securely fenced, dog friendly with stunning scenery and walks all around. Loads to do and great places to visit.The drive alone is breathtaking.Glad you had a good time,come back soon.
