Melvaig Holiday Pictures

Here's just a few of the couple of hundred pictures we took on our wonderful little holiday to Melvaig...

I'm here - can you see me? (Red deer hind in Melvaig)


The crash-site memorial to 15 people who died when a USAF Liberator hit the hillside, lost in fog, June 13 1945. Wreckage remains scattered to this day. A tough walk to a very moving place.

This is MY beach!

Sue photographs the autumn colour. Note the full wet weather gear... wear the right clothes, and who cares if it rains...?!!!

Flowerdale, Gairloch. Another tough walk, but I'll bet this waterfall looks best at this time of year!

Flowerdale again. Just wonderful!

On our way to Slaggan... (Wet weather gear again...) (Our path goes off the picture upper left).

Slaggan beach - 3 miles from the nearest road. There is a ruined settlement of some 20 or more houses just behind the photographer.  Words can't describe the emotions we felt here.

Gairloch harbour - bathed in autumn sunshine.

Your holiday looks just like the sort Rod and I like and get.....quiet, nice scenery and lots of rain! Of course, we don't really like the rain but have got used to it as we often go to Wales. How we envy you all that beautiful scenery!!

After your holiday and then Sue's holiday, I can see how Cupar would need a holiday too! Maybe you didn't miss the fireworks at Dunvegan Castle Nov 3 if the clouds were too low. Were they?

We don't bother with fireworks, drgeo, but judging by the number of people turning up at the Castle yesterday evening when I walked Cupar in the woods - the party went ahead in spite of the less than perfect weather!
