And this is how we experienced our two weeks in the Highland and Isles of Scotland. Everyday blue sky, high temperatures and not a single drop of rain. Unbelievable, as was the scenery.

Some days it felt too hot too walk, but we did. This is part of the West Highland Way that allows you to experience the loneliness of the wilderness area of Rannoch Moor.

While we had imagined the moor to be covered in mist we found by mid morning the moor shimmering in a heat haze. The white cottage belonging to the Scottish Ladies Mountaineering Club is at the start of the walk.
