R.G. Loc: Scotland
 
These are from a recent trip I had up to the north coast of Scotland and back home down the north-west coast. The good thing about mountains is that there's something worth capturing even in bad weather (except thick mist - which is what I got on the way home :( ).

Excellent shots. It's like I've seen on TV so many times.

Thanks very much, Geoff. I stayed in the Ben Loyal hotel in Tongue, which was fine and very reasonably priced.

Unless you're exceptionally fond of bleak moorland, you'll find that the north-west and west is more scenic than the north-east. I went up through the middle (through Lairg), and went back home down the west coast to Ullapool before heading back east. This is just a fraction of the shots that I got from my trip. I'm planning a Part II when I get the editing done.

PS - I hope you're familiar with single track roads and passing places. You can't get round the top without having to use them for some of the trip.

As a Welsh guy living in Yorkshire (not really part of England!) that made me chuckle!
Beautiful photographs.
