Day 6: Borgie Glen to Scourie

A delayed post for Friday 15th due to not having any signal at our rest up on the side of the A894.

After leaving Borgie Glen, we headed south-west for Scourie. First stop was through Tongue where there was a decent view of Castle Varrich.

Ard Neckie lime kilns was next up. Didn’t go down to them, but stopped at the top to admire the curve leading to them

Ceannebeinne beach was next

Smoo cave was epic. Massive hole in the ground with a waterfall with a long smugglers inlet

The sea off the headland at Smoo cave was being properly whipped up by the wind

Further along was Balnakeil. From here, a significant walk is possible up Faraid head. Had thought about doing the whole thing but decided instead to walk the beach and the first bit as it was still a biting cold wind with rain showers. Balnakeil Kirk was an interesting ruin

Finally, we headed down to just past Scourie for the night.
