Fall in Scotland

The view from our house
Torridon Mountains from Gairloch


Lots of wonderful beach walks
Badachro


We have settled in for the next 2 months in the little village of Badachro on the Gairloch in northwest Scotland. We are so far north- opposite the northern end of Skye -  that it does not get light until 8 a.m and is dark by 5. Long quiet evenings give us lots of time for thinking and writing so we are getting plenty of work done.  But we are also taking advantage of the gaps between rain and gales to do lots of birdwatching. The light from the low sun at this time of year is magical, the colors wonderful and  the views breathtaking.

Barra likes Scotland too!
Bird watching with the island of Skye behind
Hope you all have great Thanksgiving - we will certainly miss the pumpkin pie this year.
