Day 7 Drumbeg to Bettyhill

The Croft we stayed in overnight at Drumbeg was very welcoming and served a great breakfast. The building itself was interesting with walls about 30 inches thick! Again the sun was shining as we left and this was the view opposite the Croft.

Stopped for a cuppa in a lay-by with this view.

At Durness we, well to be fair Chris, made a visit to the famous Smoo cave

My iPad seems to have muddled up the photos so bear with me....

We stopped here at Kinlochbervie for supplies, coffee and hot chocolate

It was a very busy fishing port.

Hard to get a really nice picture of the Kylesku bridge that replaced a ferry crossing.

Just about every large Loch, and there are a LOT of them has a fishing farm

The Smoo cave taken by Chris as I could not walk down all those steps!

This looked an interesting island with bunker type building built into the hillside, but I cannot find any info on it.

Maybe I should have started today’s blog with Once upon a journey in an eighteen year old Land Rover...

Yes you guessed it we have broken down, the front wheel bearing has gone. Limped to a small garage in Tongue where a helpful mechanic told us of a garage that might help as he did not have the parts or equipment. Luckily we have a night booked at Bettyhill Hotel a few miles down the road and the garage that have offered to send for the parts and fix the car tomorrow is just a few miles further at Reay.

First garage stop at Tongue.

The view from our bedroom window at Bettyhill Hotel, such luxury, they even serve food!
