A delayed post for Friday 15th due to not having any signal at our rest up on the side of the A894. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceannebeinne beach was next <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoo cave was epic. Massive hole in the ground with a waterfall with a long smugglers inlet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sea off the headland at Smoo cave was being properly whipped up by the wind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we headed down to just past Scourie for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
