Glencoe and Speyside - Day 3

We drove round to Glen Duror, about 15 miles away, and parked at the small car park there. We then walked up a forest track as far as a bothy, which was the birthplace of James of the Glen, on whom the Robert Louis Stevenson classic novel, Kidnapped, is based.





From there we walked down to the river where we sat and had our lunch, then walked back out to the campervan.


It was quite a short walk so we had plenty of time left. Since it was very hot and sunny we decided to go to the beach, Cuil Bay just down the coast a bit. It was quite a spectacular location, and Loch Linnhe was flat calm.





We had a bit of a paddle and a sunbathe. While there a couple of harbour porpoises swam around in the bay.

Before going back to the site we went to the Clachaig Inn for a pint in the sunshine.


Later we had a barbecue, with sausages and burgers. It seemed the hot weather was too hot for midges, they weren't really a problem.
