West Scotland - Day 8

We'd decided to extend our stay by another day, but had to move the van to a different pitch, so we took the opportunity to drive to a different part of the peninsula. We drove south and parked near the tiny settlements of Ardbain and Coille Ghillie.

We walked to their beaches, which are made of white coral.





We drove to Toscaig Pier, which is as far south as the road goes. We then went back to Applecross Bay, and on the way could see an island with some basking seals on it.

We parked at the side of the road and walked over the headland to Sand, which is a tiny settlement next to a beach. There were good views over to Raasay and Skye.


We watched a helicopter land and take off at an MoD establishment.

Finally we made it to the lovely beach.

We walked back the way we'd come, then drove to our new pitch at the site.

After showers we bought a burger and chips from the kiosk on site. It was very good.
