Just a couple of nights on the west...
We took our wee caravan, but it's also a great day out from here; under two hours (77 miles) from Newtonmore and you pass some stunning scenery on the way - take a look at "Heading West, full day out" in the See+Do tab on our website www.wherestagsroar.co.uk for more info and itinerary ideas.

The Northern Colletes bee ⬇️ (Colletes floralis) is a rare, sand-burrowing solitary bee that makes its home in the coastal sand dunes and unique machair grasslands of western Scotland.
They are solitary bees, meaning they do not live in hives or have queens and workers. Instead, females dig individual underground burrows up to 26 cm deep in soft sand, though they often nest close together in large groups called aggregations, just like they are where I spotted them here in this wee clip.
In western Scotland, they are most famously found on the islands of the Outer and Inner Hebrides, as well as rare mainland dune systems, closely tied to flower-rich machair, like this 🌸🐝⬇️🎦
Without a queen or large workforce to guard, they have no defensive territorial instincts and are not aggressive.
