Into The Wilderness ... Sluggan Bay

After my journey around Priest Island and Little Loch Broom ... I was a bit stiff from sitting in the small boat for most of the day.

It was still a beautiful summer’s evening so I decided to visit Sluggan Bay and see its deserted village. I wasn’t going by boat this time .. I was happy to walk for the exercise.

Here is a short video of that walk. Nothing spectacular ..but it let me see another part of the coast that I had not seen before. There were lovely clear views from Sluggan across to Harris and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

The following morning I headed for home .. to check on my mail .. have a good clean out of the car ..rest a day or two .. wash clothes ... before heading north again.

On the way ... I stopped off at the House of Bruar for a coffee and a leg stretch ... where I watched some canyon walkers below the Braur Falls.

Once my house was in order I headed for the north east coast of Scotland.. simply because the west looked very wet and windy from the weather forecasts.

Bruar Falls and the big freeze

The met office predicted a few days of thaw so yesterday I took the opportunity to head up the A9 now the roads are clear of snow. I like to stop at the House of Bruar, for a bite to eat and to look at the paintings in the gallery for some inspiration when I loose my own creative mood and don’t do any painting for a while.

I also like to walk up behind the shopping centre to Bruar falls. I wondered if there was much ice around. Going into the gully was like stepping into a deep freeze. There was little sign of a thaw at the waterfalls. Not much else to tell about them so enjoy the photos

I have quite a few plans and resolutions for 2011 so stay tuned and you will find out what they are. In the mean time I hope you all find some time to chill out and have a cool New Year. Thanks for looking in on my blog over the past year.
