Second day of the road trip & I obviously didn't get enough driving in cause I felt like driving some more. So after I checked into the B&B, I headed off in Betty to Mallaig.
On the way, I stopped off at this bridge that was used in the Harry Potter movie - Hogwart Express journey for fan's reference. Climbed a muddy hill, took a few snaps, met a nice family, & off again.
Just beautiful scenery & quite remote (not many cars along the way). Waterfalls falling down steep mountain sides. Mist in the hill crevices. Time & again it took my breath away. So lots of stops along the way. I realised at some point I'd fallen in love with Scotland.
I stopped in Mallaig, a sea port, & pulled up just in time to site a magnificent double rainbow. Found a great little restaurant along the waterfront & tucked into some langoustines (type of small lobster). It took me over an hour to get through them all (about 8). I love food you can really explore & get your teeth & tongue into! I was quite exhausted at the end.
It was well after 9pm by the time I got back. Time for a movie, then to bed.
A very satisfying day!!
