Torridon
Torridon is one of my favourite places on earth, so a meeting there organised by work was just what I needed.I first went there when I was 13, with my parents, and was made to go and examine Terminal Moraine, with an impromptu tutorial on geology thrown in, but I survived that. I went again when I was first married, and managed to get an Englishman to understand about Scotland. The meeting was good, and a real chance to get to know the people I work with.
The hotel has been renovated, but I remembered it as soon as I got there. The only thing missing was the pair of English setters who had taken over the hearthrug last time! Rumer came this time, but had to stay in the LandRover, as they don’t allow dogs now. I wonder why?
It is a place for walking and climbing, and those who go are likely to have REAL dogs, so come on guys, make it more dog friendly! The photos on Flickr were taken down by the lochside in the evening light. It is that magical luminescence of the west coast. I had a lovely drive over from Inverness, but decided to go home by the west coast, and maybe stay somewhere, but the GPS told me I could make it home, and my own bed was so tempting I kept going.Stopped for fish & chips at the Real Food Cafe at Tyndrum. Can really recommend it - everything cooked to order, and good local sources. Will be back! Oh, and the terminal moraine is still in Torridon!
