Where are we going, where have we been

It was time, after visits to Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness to head out to the wilder places of Scotland. Here is a very rough representation of our routing:

Currently, we are just north of Carlisle but still in Scotland. Actually very close to Lockerbie which most people will remember due to a plane bombing many years ago.

We didn’t make to John O’Groats but that’s OK. It just leaves something to return to in the future! Apparently, the thing to do in the caravaning community these days is the ‘Scotland 500’ which is a circle route going north from Inverness to John O’Groats and then over to the west coast and back down to Inverness. According to relatives their advice is don’t do it! That just makes be want to do it even more!!

Anyway, that’s not what we did as we simply didn’t have the time and so we headed out to the west coast and did an almost circle. We made it out to the west coast to see the most amazing beaches and wild headlands as well as astounding park areas with towering green mountains.

Here’s a little photographic taste of some of the places we went:
