Sleeping on the Top Bunk
It was a point of conversation that recurred over and over again with regularity and always caused giddiness and excitement.

A loch with many little peninsulas and tree covered islands, “Ba” in Gaelic means cattle, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen any cows chewing the cud on my many drive throughs. Definitely more…

Rainy Camusdarach
The rain parked up near Arisaig as Dave and I arrived at the Camusdarach campsite. It never really moved on again until the morning we left. A beach I’d always wanted to visit and I campsite I’d always heard good things about. We weren’t disappointed, despite the constant wetness. Best picture was probably taken by…
