Poolewe & Gairloch - Day 2

Inverewe Botanical Garden is just along the road, so we walked there today. We spend a good few hours wandering round the many paths. There are lots of specimen rhododendrons, and many other special plants. The walled gardens have fruit and veg too.

There are a couple of ponds with carnivorous plants.

We went down to the jetty, along the coastal bit, then back up to the highest point.

After exiting the gardens we crossed the road and walked the Pinewood Trail through the woods, which eventually led us back to the campsite.

Later we left Oscar in the van and went to the local brewery taproom just along the road, Ewebrew. We had a couple of pints there and the beer was very good. They also do food but we didn't have any there.

We had burgers, mash and beans back at the van later.

Poolewe & Gairloch - Day 1

We left the house in the campervan about 9.30 am and drove up the A9. We stopped at Tesco in Inverness for some shopping and a meal deal for lunch.

We then carried on, arriving at Poolewe and checking in to the Inverewe Gardens Camping and Caravanning Club Site. It's the same site we stayed at last time we were here in 2012.

It's right on the shore, so we went for a short walk along the back of the beach and into the village. We saw a seal just offshore.

Later for dinner we had pasta with pesto, bacon and tomatoes.
