Well, here we are again!
Looking through the rest of my photographs, it was noticeable just how many wonderful beaches we visited whilst touring the Melvaig area....
Below is a shot of Big Sands en route to The Croft where we were staying. A deserted beach with a beautiful evening sky, - what more could you want!

On Saturday 27th we spent a lovely few hours at Flowerdale waterfalls (featured earlier in this blog) and then went down to the Pier. Following a footpath from there, we discovered this lovely view of another deserted beach with Gairloch in the distance.
The following day we went on a drive encompassing Poolewe, Aultbea and Laide. Driving further northwards we ended up at this fabulous sandy beach at Mellon Udrigle which has vast expanses of white sand, rock pools and the most fabulous sandstone rock deposits. Wonderful!
Our long walk along the beach encompassed rock pools, huge mountains of bladderwrack and often vast formations of sandstone rocks.......
Saturday involved a much longer walk out to the deserted housing remains of Slaggan. Just past it we came across another wonderful, empty sandy beach..
Later that day and back at our cosy, comfortable base, The Croft, Cupar the Collie relaxes in the lounge after his long - eight mile or so - walkies!
A great day and a fabulous mini holiday in all! :)
