Torridon is on my regular tour of the west coast of Scotland. Coming up from Plockton, and via Applecross the scenery with mighty Monroe mountains coming down to the shore is spectacular. Stay at the Torridon Inn, or book a cheaper B & B, but try to book a very posh meal at the Torridon Hotel. You will be very well looked after, but it is very expensive. Visit the Tourist Centre at the top of the loch. Useful info here. There is a single track road along the north shore, but it is very long, slow and hard work. When leaving you will carry on to Kinlochewe. The glen is delightful, with a stream rushing over its rocky course. The mountains tower above you and their size staggers the senses. Geologists will have a field au considering the complexity of the landscape. For example, the compressed sandstone from times when this part of the world was nearer the equator. Visit the Ben Eighe info centre on the road just outside Kinlochewe on the way to the coast. Don't take the sat nav route to Ullapool. You will miss all the delights of Gairloch, Poolewe and Gruinard Bay.

What a wonderful experience!! Everything about our 2-hour ride was perfect, from the beautiful, healthy horses to the sweet family that runs the stables & tour - it exceeded our expectations. We will be back!!!

This beach is off the beaten track on the spectacular road to Achiltibuie. There is a small car park down the end of a single track road and a footpath over the dunes and down to the beach. It can be rather windy and boggy on the path to the beach and sheep do graze freely there, but once you get there it is quite sheltered and dogs can run wild on the glorious sandy beach. It is definately our dogs favourite place in this breathtaking part of the world.

We visited Garve and did the Two Bridges walk, and it was well worth the small detour to do so. I highly recommend this walk. It’s a simple loop round fairly easy going ground, with plenty lovely spots for a picnic and great photo ops. Thankfully we had a lovely dry day for our walk but think it would also be great when raining and in full spate.
10. Inverewe Garden

This unique and magnificent garden features many species of plants including spectacular rhododendrons, azaleas, trees and shrubs. The best views over Loch Ewe, boat trips, kids trail, wildlife and a stunning walled garden

One of us really enjoyed the gardens whilst the other took the dog up through well landscaped woodland walk.
