10 miles along a single-track road, on the way to Broch Dun Dornaigil, literally in the middle of nowhere, almost as far from civilisation as can be found in the UK, lies a ruined crofthouse…
The only sign of man - apart from the road - yet blessed with amazing views, I wonder what life would have been like here in the past, hard for sure, but a pace of life slower and more connected with nature than we currently have as a society…
Nearby, the Strathmore River cuts a gorse-lined gorge on the way to Loch Hope, in the shadow of Ben Hope, descending via some amazing and little-known falls - sadly we weren’t in a position to visit the falls on this trip, but next time we will make sure to do so…
Anyway, a moment’s solitude, peace and beauty to brighten your day…
