Scottish Tour – Ullapool

Scottish Tour – Ullapool

Ullapool has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful towns in Scotland so we headed up there to see for ourselves as well as being able to show the scene to you guys. It was a bit late by the time we got there but thankfully we found a place to sleep…….and it was a very isolated one.

Scottish Tour – Culloden

Scottish Tour – Culloden

I thought Emma would like to see an empty field with some flags in it so I took her to Culloden where Bonnie Prince Charlies army was squashed by the English Army (and some Scottish Clans) and some flags and tombstones were placed there as a reminder.

Scottish Tour – Findhorn

Scottish Tour – Findhorn

I have heard a lot about Findhorn over the years as apparently it had a spiritual community there which people like Mike Scott of The Waterboys have attended. However, we didn’t see much evidence of that when we got there, instead we saw a long empty windy beach.

Scottish Tour – Cove Bay

Scottish Tour – Cove Bay

We continued along the coastline to a very special place called Cove Bay. It appears listed as one of Scotland’s top ten hotspots on many lists so I dragged Emma on another walk but thankfully we reached our destination on this one, unlike the mysterious Castle in Cullen.
