Ullapool to Stirling the Pretty Way

It was a wet start to the day so we didn't hang around in Ullapool.

We decided to go via Loch Maree and Torridon. Unfortunately the clouds stayed low so the views weren't great.

By the time we reached the Eilean Donan Castle it had brightened enough to encourage me to get the camera out and run a few shots off. The only ones of the day.

A quick stop in Fort William was the last stop before Stirling.

Home tomorrow.

Orkney to Ullapool

It was raining all morning in Stromness on Orkney so it didn't look good for photos.

Fortunately it had brightened up by the time we reached the Old Man of Hoy. The camera was already set up with the 150mm lens ready for the shot (equivalent to 75 on 35mm or full frame digital cameras).

The sun came out just as we passed. The ferry wasn't the best viewpoint for taking the shot but it's still interesting.

The only other shots were of Ardvreck Castle ruins near Inchnadamph, north of Ullapool. My 3rd visit here but still no sunshine and blue sky.

Tomorrow we head for Stirling, home Monday.
