Dunvegan Head

The weather for the last few weeks has been just fantastic. There's been the occasional misty day, but we've had no worthwhile rain for weeks. It's really pretty warm right now, too.

Yesterday I took a walk to Dunvegan Head at the northern tip of the Duirinish peninsula. It's only a couple of miles to the Head from the nearest road, and there's brilliant cliff top scenery all the way...

....and deserted beaches....


....and the first Yellow Iris I've seen this year.

.
I can see for miles and miles, and miles and miles...


 .... there's amazing coastal features too....

 ...and finally -  Dunvegan Head - with North Uist on the distant horizon.

Thanks Nick. It's not easy walking, and in the summer the bracken will make it even tougher - but it's worth every step!!
