Luxury Scottish Lodges in Arisaig and Speyside

Channeling my inner William Wallace

This is me at the top of Creag Mhor, the big mountain which sits behind the lodges.  We walked up to the train station at Arisaig, crossed the tracks then followed the path up from there.  It was easy at the start but very steep later on!  We took a packed lunch and stopped half way to eat.  The view was brilliant across the harbour at Arisaig then out to the islands.

We saw a waterfall on our way up and the biggest dragon flies I’ve ever seen.  They were the size of my dad’s hand!

When I was at the peak I could see lochs in the mountain range as I looked over towards Morar.  Next time I want to walk further and explore those.

 

 

 

Enjoying dinner at The Clachain Inn, Mallaig

Whenever we eat out I always want to go to The Clachain in Mallaig, it’s my favourite!  While we are waiting for our food to arrive I always get to play darts with my dad.  He says the adding up is good for my brain!!   After dinner we usually play a game of pool.  I’m never there late enough to see the band but I often see the musicians setting up their instruments.  We usually sit in a booth at the back but they have a big log fire which is always really hot.
