Back to Achmelvich

After a splendid night's sleep and a really good breakfast we decided that we would go to one of our favourite beaches at Achmelvich to enjoy the sunshine. It was quite breezy and lots of yellow leaves had fallen overnight on the balcony outside our room; it was as if autumn has arrived all at once. 

We had a brilliant walk on the beach and over to the neighbouring smaller beach. The sea was dark blue further out, then became a beautiful green colour as it became shallower, and then almost as pale as the white sand beach as the small waves lapped on the shore. 

We drove to Ullapool to another of our favourite places - the Ceilidh Place, where we had lunch before heading home.

It has been a very good weekend; I love the North West of Scotland particularly the part from Ullapool northwards, and I feel that it nourishes my soul.
