Anyway… so we decided to visit Rothesay and the Isle of Bute that day and visited Brodick and the Isle of Arran the next day! Which ended up to be an excellent thing cause it was just beautiful and we had a great time on both Islands!

]]>The only downside is that we were supposed to visit the Holyrood Castle in Edinburgh, residence of the Queen in July every year), but Prince Charles & Camila were in it that day so the Castle was closed!
Anyway, here are the photos and then a mix of all the videos I shot.

]]>THU 04 JUNE - DAY 1 - Crianlarich, Ballacgullish, Corran:
THU 04 JUNE - DAY 1 - Fort William, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle:
Nope, you're not dreaming! Indians in Fort William! The funiest thing is that they were actually singing & playing typical Scottish songs in Graelic! Hilarious….
The Famous LOCH NESS (not the biggest in Scotland but definitely the deapest). The castle is called the “Urquhart Castle” (click for official website), built in the 12th century.
THU 04 JUNE - DAY 1 - Abriachan Woods:
Abrichan Woods are protected forests in the center of the Highlands. Really beautiful with walking paths and great view over the Loch Ness…
THU 04 JUNE - DAY 1 - Bead & Breakfast “Drumossie Park”:
Just 2 pictures of our 1st B&B close to Inverness. It was really nice and the landlady was really welcoming! I recommand 100%. We stayed there the first night and then the last night when we came back from the very north. 1st picture is my room, second is Claire's room. Here is the official website: Drumossie Park B&B
FRI 05 JUNE - DAY 2 - Letterewe, Bein Eighe, Loch Achanalt:
Second day was even more beautiful than the first. Last stops before the beaches!
FRI 05 JUNE - DAY 2 - Gairloch, Ardmair :
ahh Gairloch! BEAU-TI-FUL! Beautiful beaches, one of the best restaurant we EVER went to (Palm Trees picture), excellent weather (shinny and VERY cold), was the best day ever…
On the way to Durness (magnificent 70Km road with no turn at all (!!)), we met some sheeps, they seemed nice, we stopped and talked to them: they answered back! Really friendly
FRI 05 JUNE - DAY 2 - Invernaver, Heilam, Durness :
Ok here the thing! Durness is beautiful but we were not so impressed oeverall! As said above, we have eaten in one of the best restaurant ever in Gairloch, well… in Durness, we have eaten in definitely the WORST restaurant in the whole WOLRD! It as disgusting, it looked disgusting, it was very expensive and these morons tried to steal money from us by counting twice the same meal!
The name of that evil place is: “The Smoo Cave Hotel & Restaurant”. DO NOT GO THERE! EVER!
SAT 06 JUNE - DAY 3 - Armadale,Thurso, Mey, John O'Groats :
We continued West to John O'Groats, still beautiful with lots of beaches.
On the way, was the 16th century Castle of Mey in Caithness which had been the home of the Queen Mother from 1952 and until she died (second picture).

Video of Armadale:
SAT 06 JUNE - DAY 3 - Golspie, Castle of Dunrobin :
On the way back to the B&B in Inverness, we had to stop to visit this castle. Unfortunately, it was closed but we trespassed! And you know what? We don't even regret it!
SUN 07 JUNE - DAY 4 - Cromarty (dolphins), Oban:
Cromarty is a small village north of Inverness. A several hundreds old one as a matter of fact. We didn't go there only to visit, but also to see dolphins in the North Sea, which we did, thanks to Ecoventures . Another thing I recommand. Very friendly and the speed boat trip is amazing!
After Cromarty, we drove off to Oban (south). We were late because we had to take the rented car back for 6pm (we actually arrived in Paisley at 9pm!). Hence the following video where Claire drives like a crazy Parisian that she's not…
Oban:
There it is. As I said, this is just a sum up of what we did and where we went, there's a lot more but I just wanted to put a glimpse of it here.
Of all the places we've been to with Claire, this was definitely the BEST trip ever, we had so much fun and North Scotland is so beautiful. We also were blessed with a good weather.
]]>Normalement, l'hiver n'est pas très froid, mais cet hivers c'est du -11°C, donc génial!
I will probably never know why I love winter so much but one thing for usre, Scotland is definitely the place to be if you don't like heat! Last summer, hotest temp was 21°C and for only 2 days, the rest of the summer being under 19°C! Paradise.
Winter this year is around -11°C. Love it...
