Between now and early August these beautiful birds come to the cliffs to raise their young before heading back out to sea, and North of Scotland is one of the best places to spot them 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦞

If outdoors is your thing, there are lots of places to explore not far from the front door - whether you like quiet coastal walks 🌊, river walks 🎣, or exploring some history in the form of Brochs, Cairns and Castles 🏰. As they say in Scotland, 'if you got the weather, you wouldn't go anywhere else' β˜€οΈπŸ¦ž

Even though we got a bit carried away with thinking Spring had actually sprung πŸ™ˆ (sorry), while we are in 2nd Winter, between the showers there are still so many beautiful sights to see πŸ’› and the skies make for some dramatic photographs!

Top tip - visit a beach with your furry family on a not so nice day and you'll basically get it to yourself πŸ˜„πŸ¦ž

Morning πŸŒ… Evening πŸŒ™ and Night ⭐️🌜Just a few amazing skies in one day 🦞

A drive up the most beautiful road, running along the Helmsdale river 🎣 to Melvich Bay - only to discover we had the whole beautiful beach to ourselves 🌊

I always recommend travelling these back roads, if you are confident with single track roads - they give you a true view of the Scottish Highland scenery 🏞 and there is always a little pot of gold at the end πŸ’›πŸ¦ž
