After a week of atrocious weather only suitable for ducks and monsters, Monday was a scorcher all over the North of Scotland - The West Coast up to Applecross was superb - no wind just sunshine and clear blue skies.
That is a great trip to make when you come to stay at the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel - I did this same trip with guests yesterday.
Coffee at Clunie Inn, viewpoint at Ratagan looking towards the Five Sisters of Kintail, stop at Eilean Donan Castle where Highlander was filmed, lunch at Applecross Inn - fabulous scallops in garlic - then back by Shieldig along the Trans-Atlantic Highway via Ord Distillery and back in time for dinner at the Clansman Hotel.
Later that evening, the guests were taken out by Rory on his boat 'Time Bandit' - a beautiful May evening and guess what they returned with - a lovely 1.5lb brown trout which chef duly grilled with lemon, butter and a little crushed black pepper - Deeelicious.
