Welcome to the latest instalment in my account of my Scottish holiday (May 30th to June 6th). This post, which concludes my account of the time actually at the Knoydart peninsula, comes after a small hiatus caused by first work and then yesterday’s weather. It got so hot yesterday that one of the things I did after returning from the West Norfolk Autism Group committee meeting, getting home around lunch time, was to use my shower to give myself a sluicing with cold water just to cool down. Today is still hot, but it is not as brutal as yesterday was.
INVERIE HOUSE TO THE PUB
The walk from Inverie House took in a food garden (no picking allowed, and in any case there was precious little that was actually pickable), and a loop back to the main road, which we followed to the pub.
THE PUB
The Old Forge proved to be a splendid establishment. They had two locally brewed beers on tap, and I went for the historically named “Seven Men of Knoydart” – this designation referring to the first stand taken in the area against oppressive landlords (nb Knoydart has been community owned since 1999). The food was also good.
POST LUNCH
After lunch we walked a bit the other way, and it was during this walk that we saw the waterfall a video of which featured in my previous post (there is another today). We got back to the quayside in good time and waited for the boat back to Mallaig.
PHOTOGRAPHS
We start with the second waterfall video…
Now for the photographs…
