Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Saw several herds of deer on the open moorlands.Suddenly a stag and his hind wandered casually across the single track in front of the car but were soon camouflaged by the bracken and young heather of the moorland.
Skirted the village of Torridon nestling under the Munro mountain of Liathach at 3456 feet and drove past the turning to Shieldaig .We continued on the West Coast Trail overlooking one of the many sea lochs on the west coast Loch Torridon.
Had a great picnic looking down onto the loch and watching the seagulls and other various seabirds nesting on the cliff tops and swooping around Gull Island in the loch.
Saw a wild goat and her kid scrambling down the scree to the shores of Loch Torridon. Also spotted an eagle soaring and circling overhead although you will just have to believe me here as getting an eagle on film is very difficult. In the next episode we arrive at the village of Applecross on the west coast of Scotland.
