During the course of a rather rainy morning, Lord of the Glens took a route to the east and through the Corran Gap, home to one of the shortest ferry journeys in the UK. The pretty white houses that are so characterful of this part of the world scattered the shoreline and local food vendors scattered the carparks offering delicious smells as we passed.
Our afternoon between showers was splendid. An intrepid group of long walkers hiked through the bracken and bog myrtle to see a view of the famous viaduct from on high, while others went straight to the monument that features so strongly in the history of this part of the world, commemorating the point at which Bonnie Prince Charlie came ashore in 1745.
An all-important ice cream was required to cool us off before the next soft rains eased us on our way to the ship.
