Heading back South

Ignoring Mr Foggs previous blog. Today we had a trip of 103 miles down the coast to Evanton which is just outside Inverness. Although there are a load of campsites this way many of them are closed due to COVID or fully booked. We found a little recommended site next to Black Rock Gorge which is very peaceful and sheltered.

On the way today we visited Latheronwheel Harbour. A tiny fishing village created as part of the clearances where the natural harbour was extended and built in 1840 first to support Salmon fishing then the boom of Mackeral fishing. Today it is a quiet little place with no boats and a steady stream of tourists making their way down a tiny lane.

The villagers are clearly proud of their harbour. It has a picnic area and flowers and a decent size car park. Most of all it has otters and seals. We didn’t spot any otters but watched grey seals in the harbour mouth

The bridge was built around the 1700s initially and was the pony route for post services.

A beautiful place
