Blethering Blonde

We've really been enjoying getting to know this area.  Moidart and it's surrounds are full of hidden gems.  Castle Tioram is one of them.  I apologise for the many castle photos but we were blown away at the grandeur of the place even it its ruinous state.  When the weather started looking a bit iffy we decided to drive out to Ardnamurchan Point in the hope it would clear over and we'd get a nice sunset.  It was not to be but still a nice place to sit.

We've been on a bit of a mission for a while now and without much success.  What be that mission? - to see an otter in the wild.  We have wiled away many an hour in many locations in search of this elusive creature.  Now here we were in an area that is renound for its otter population.  Surely this would be the time to tick that one of the list. Sunart Woodland Trails had given us what should be the perfect place to achieve our goal, Garbh Eilean Hide.  It's a very impressive set up, fully accessible for disabled too.  The board inside documented there had been recent sightings of our prize.  Would we be lucky................................... not this time.  Ah well, we have a week here so fingers crossed.
