Everyone has their own wee special spot they enjoy, I like loch Katrine as its remote enough yet looks great with the ice over the loch.
Just a pity the roads black ice just now, thats when 4x4 is handy. |

Each day I look out the windows over the field to the sea beyond, it's ever changing in it's beauty.
My lovely and I often sat on the beach admiring the sun or moon light playing over the waves and shore, he called it God's Cathedral...he was right one is never nearer to ones chosen God than when admiring his handiwork. |

"and does nobody carry a camera to carry these stunning moments  even a phone camera??? "
a camera cant capture the smell of the sea spray and the sound of the waves on dornoch beach at day break as i walked to work! or the sound of the bodhran and the taste of the fresh seared scallops i ate in a nairn restaurant... the beauty is in more than the sights we see! |

Absolutely have to agree with teh comments on here. From places I've travelled to, nothing really compares. There's nowhere quite like (NO! NOT Grandama...tsk!lol) Lochaber - esp around Ardnamuchan (Sanna), Glenfinnan, Strontian and (of course) Glencoe - where the sceneray changes with the light about every 5 seconds...! . Also Strathfarrar*, by Beauly is amazing. You need to knock on the gatekeeper's house to get in to the glen (sounds a tad 'Tolkein' doesn't it?!). Native Caledonian forest, thousands of roaming (mainly red) deer and stunning views all round.Google it and check it out! Also Cannich just a wee bit along the road. If feeling energetic can hillwalk all the way from Strathfarrar or Cannich to the West Coast in a journey of views you'd never forget.
Slainte folks and have a wonderful New Year!
P.S: Am not sure why the Scottish Tourist Board (/A.N Other) insists on changing age-old Scottish or Gaelic place names to 'inglified' versions (no offence to any English person reading). In the past few years I've seen Strathfarrar changed to 'Glenstrathfarrar (?! A nonsensical and unnecessary twee alteration) and Strathspey's now 'The Spey Valley'...?! WHIT'S going on?! And what next? Is Glencoe going to be hanged to Dingly Dell...? |

Susan, thanks for setting me off down memory lane, I spent a lovely two weeks holidaying on the Ardnamurchan peninsula and it was a fantastic magical time, holed up in a wooden lodge with spectacular views.
Taking the boat out onto the water brought us right up close to seals and their pups. My dog didn't know what to make of them!
The sea is turquoise blue and the sands are fine and white... tropical looking but not as warm lol. Scotland is a fantastic country of contrasts, I love it. |

Whilst at the same time local authorities and others are adding Gaelic place names to road signs - often making the damn things twice the size they were before and blocking the view of junctions, bends and so on. |

Heather's right. The view of Arran is stunning, either from ground level, the top of the Dalry Moor Road (well known to some members here  ) or from the Clyde steamers which were such a part of many of our childhood holiday memories.
A bit further north the 'Queen's View' down Loch Tummel to Kinloch Rannoch and beyond is spectacular. |
