So tired...

Castle Stalker, seen from the restaurant just off the road between Oban and Fort William...
The sign at the beginning of the Glen Nevis walk, 'tis a very steep and slippery walk...marvelous views down the glen, and waterfalls everywhere you look...it was very wet when we went up so we did not make it to the top of the glen...
Ben Nevis, seen from the Nevis range cafe and shop...excellent place to stop if you're driving around here...most of the food served is wholesome organic or free range (proper free range)...and there is a large wooden cow outside that is perfect for memorable pics of the trip...
Beauly church, bit further north but still worth mentioning...within walking distance of the road through Beauly this church is eerie but cosy...the cafe shop in the centre of Beauly also does the most amazing jacket tatties (baked potatoes) and has some interesting fillings as well as some fantastic ice creams...Beauly is on the East coast but so far into the Moray Firth that it is pretty much central in Scotland...over the bridge from Inverness and along a bit...
Sunset over the Isle of Kerrera, beautiful, calming, spectacular... Kerrera is one of those islands with a proper community...which luckily enough C. and I have been semi accepted into although we don't actually live on the island.
Oban, from Pulpit hill, if you have dogs that appreciate late night walks to calm them before bed then this is a great hill to have nearby...our dogs need this hill...and the views are awesome, that's a Calmac ferry just behind the trees...
View from McCaig's tower...beautiful again...almost the full length of Kerrera...the marinas...the whole ferry terminal...and North Pier...Oban seafront in glorious sunshine...
View from Pulpit hill, this time looking towards Mull and the Ardnamurchan Peninsula...shiny white Calmac ferry just beyond Kerrera and the marina nestled into the island...quite moody skies in this photo...
Just felt like putting up some photos of the beauty of Scotland, so lucky to live here...
