If you survive the drive...........

So, with the promise of a dry day, off I set for the beautiful Torridon hills. The west coast, (Scotland) is so gorgeous, I can never resist it. So I always stop frequently to take in and photograph the scenery, first stop then: Loch Achanalt DSCF8098.JPG And resisting the attempt to stop every five...

I suppose I should have done a little ...
