It’s a Beach Day! Scotlands most Beautiful Beaches

The beaches around Kinlochbervie in north-west Scotland are beyond beautiful. They are wild, sandy and rugged. If it wasn't for the weather, I would have thought I was somewhere significantly more tropical. Today, we have a slightly tongue-in-cheek round up of the four (or sort of five) beaches we visited in the area.

West Coast Adventures on the NC500

If you’ve seen my post about our adventures around Inverness, or you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll be expecting this post. I’m slowly recapping our visit to north-west Scotland in October this year. 

This is an attempt at a quick-fire round up of the various places we visited between Ullapool and Smoo Cave on the North Coast 500.

A Mini Monster List of Inverness Attractions

As you might have seen in my October monthly round-up, we spent an incredible week in the Scottish Highlands last month. The scenery was so beautiful, I really can’t get over it. I’ll be covering our trip in at least two posts, because we covered quite a bit of ground. This time around I’ll be focusing on the places we visited around Inverness. 

A bostin’ weekend in Birmingham

When I mentioned to our neighbour that we were heading to Birmingham for the weekend, he frowned, then asked if we were planning to visit Spaghetti Junction. I’ll grant you, Birmingham isn’t the most common option for a UK city break, as I discovered while trying to find blog posts with ideas for things to do.
