It's not very often that I can be persuaded to walk a golf course but the views from this one at Traigh were just stunning (the sunshine helped of course)
It's situated in a tiny bay just south of
Mallaig on the west coast of Scotland. The journey from Fort William (Ben Nevis) to
Mallaig is beautiful and can be done by train as well as by car but by train you don't get to stop in places like this. The islands in the distance are
Eigg, with its basalt cliffs, and Rum.
As we crossed the tidal burn at the 5

lacemaking. In fact its dried weed that had been washed out of the burn on a particularly high tide and left in the sun to dry - a bit like paper making but with very long staple fibres.
