Momma's coming!

We forestalled our planned walk today as the hills were shrouded in cloud as we set off but soon the sun broke though and our alternative 'easy' walk to the mainland's highest waterfall proved anything but. Makes sense when you think about it as the walk was to end at the top of the waterfall but the 'path' ( there wasn't one got so precariously steep and we weren't certain we were in the exact right place we abandoned it and sat and ate our sandwiches with a great, but slightly hazy view of Loch Glencoul and the Kylesku bridge linking the hamlets of Unapool and Kylesku.
It was 1.25 miles more or less straight up!

At a nearby cafe where we stopped for a cuppa' when we got down the lady said the walk wasn't advertised as it was too dangerous! Glad we gave up!

We returned via the lovely but very narrow Old Stoer Road and just after Drumbeg we met 4 Highland coos in the middle of the road. Two young ones and two adults. At first we thought this was the bull wadding down the middle of the road and I swiftly hopped back in the car as it got close. But it was a big momma.

It's usually sheep, deer or other motorists that are the hazards on theses amazing little roads but it was a delight to come across these little families.

BEST LARGE where you can just make out the wild primroses on the verge in the lower left of the picture. They are everywhere along the roadside here. I have never seen them anywhere else in such profusion, even on the cliffs.
