Far North Accommodation Durness
http://www.farnorthaccom.com/The%20Area.htm
Durness is on the corner of the road networks and natural stopping place. The scenery around here is magnificent and for those accustomed to city dwelling the sheer scale of the landscape is awe inspiring. Smoo Cave is located at the eastern edge of the village of Durness, on Scotland's most northerly coastline. A trip to Smoo Cave has to be included in any stay in Durness. Set into limestone cliffs, Smoo Cave is quite large - 200 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 50 feet high at the entrance. A walking net ...

Movement of the sea, used to get home in a fog. Wednesday, 29 April 2015. Parked up at The Dales Of Walls I left my camera taking photos for a time-lapse while I ate my lunch and talked to a visitor to Shetland about places to visit. Links to this post.

Scotland for the Senses: Balnakeil: Death of a Highwayman
http://scotland4thesenses.blogspot.com/2009/05/balnakeil-death-of-highwayman.html
Scotland for the Senses. Balnakeil: Death of a Highwayman. There should be a word for a saga which time has faded into myth and obscurity. It has taken more than 400 years, but the details of the life of Donald McMurdo (aka Domhnull MacMhurchaidh) seem to be all but washed away. Even the spelling of his name - which my Scotland guidebook lists as “MacMurchow,” - seems to be in some dispute. McMurdo is said to have killed 18 people, often tossing them down the “blow hole” at Smoo Cave. McMurdo is buried i...

Ruminations on 'The Motorcycle Journey' as a metaphor for life. Friday, May 31, 2013. Ford to Glasgow via the Kintyre Peninsula and then to Portpatrick with a detour down memory lane. Apologies for the late posting of this and the next blog entry. Lack of time and lack of WiFi access prevented my usual prompt posting on a daily basis. So - where were we? As the day was fine and with Glasgow my ultimate destination I headed off southwards to Lochgilphead and the start of the Kintyre Peninsula. Skirting ro...
