As tourist season fires up again, I hope the tourists treat the land and waters with greater courtesy than last year.
It saddens me that Wester Ross (where I am now) and Black Isle (where I am from) both feature so heavily in areas that are treated poorly for waste dumping.
Can't imagine visiting somewhere to see its beauty and then taking a shite at the side of the road.
A survey from the #NC500 which asks questions they'll do nothing about, even though they already know the answers.
North Coast 500 Drivers to Face Major Winter Diversion Due to Power Cable Project
A planned major electricity upgrade in the north-west Highlands of Scotland is set to significantly disrupt drivers along the iconic North Coast 500 route. SSEN Transmission is overseeing the installation of a renewable energy cable from the Western Isles to the mainland, which will require the clos... [More info]

#Ecosse. Nous continuons notre remontée de la #NC500 et du Wester Ross. Les Highland s’imposent à nous dans toutes leurs variétés : succession de lochs, sommets au profil impressionnant, chapelets d’îles à l’horizon, baies, criques, landes. Je vous présente la plus belle plage rencontrée : la plage d’Achnahaird avec son sable rose. Féerique.
