Whie we were up in the far north of Scotland, we stayed in Strathy, a tiny settlement right on the north coast. We stayed in the lovely
Strathy Inn, which is a bed and breakfast as well as an inn offering delicious evening meals and an excellent selection of real ales and other drinks.
Strathy is most famous for Strathy Point, which offers stunning views. The day we visited the point, the wind was wild in the extreme (though apparently this is normal for the area and we were told 'wait until the wind really blows!').
Here are some photos of Strathy Point
Strathy also has a wonderful beach, set in amongst a giant dune system, covered in marram grass
The dune system is also a huge rabbit warren
though we only saw one rabbit, their holes are everywhere, even in the graveyard overlooking the beach
The cliffs by the beach are amazing
and the waves were high and white when we were there
What a pretty spot for a getaway. The views and beach are awesome. I love the shot of the cliffs.. Have a happy day!
