especially beautiful on sunny summer days

The Caledonia Way
Slighe na h-Alba
A wonderful, traffic-free path, with a few sections on minor roads. Much of the path is built along the former railway line which ran from Connel to the slate quarries near Ballachulish.
The path has great views, hugging the coast for much of the way and has very few gradients.

Both were surprised to meet again.
Do Bill and his big sister not speak to each other about
where they are going?
Bill's beard is almost as white as Muriel's hair!

A combination of hidden fishing villages, inaccessible cliffs, inlets, caves and skerries, accompanied by

There were so many good photographs from trips in May -
...it was a difficult choice.
Quite possibly the best mountain day you can have in Britain.
A day of drama and views that live in the memory forever.
