In March, we took a week’s holiday up in the Highlands of Scotland, specifically around the area of Glen Coe and Loch Leven. This was a break we’d been looking forward to for months so with the car loaded up and the phones switched off we headed off the 400-odd mile trip.
We opted for a self-catering holiday, stopping at the Loch Leven Chalets. This meant we could take both the dogs and come and go as we pleased rather than sticking to other peoples’ schedules.
In terms of scenery, Glen Coe and much of the surrounding area is one of most stunning places in the country. Formed through volcanic and glacial activity over the last 400 million years, everything here is on a huge scale. The drive along the A82 from Rannoch Moor up through the glen is a must for anyone visiting the area. The landscape is simply jaw-dropping and for anyone even remotely interested in photography, the area is often at the top of must-see lists.
Although we didn’t venture too far, we did take the drive up the A830 from Fort William into Mallaig, stopping by at the fantastic Morar beaches, famed for their white sand. Doggies had much fun on the beach and we literally had to drag them off it.
We’ve put together a little slideshow of images taken on our holiday. Enjoy!
