This year Chris and I spent an enjoyable but rather a wet week at Red Kite Cottage near Dingwall with the dogs. We saw two kites, also deer, hare, buzzards .. you know, the usual wildlife.
Knockfarral, a hill fort behind the house
A frog that Imogen found and rolled on - we hope it survived!
Fleur needing a help - I had over-walked her and her joints were giving her some pain.
The view down to Dingwall and across to the Black Isle from the cottage, there were plenty of stunning rainbows.
Chris and the dogs at the start of Loch Vaich.
A chambered cairn near the cottage, set on a small hill now surrounded by woodland.
The stones were quite big.
Clava Cairns near Culloden. From the inside, looking down the passage of the cairn closest to the carpark. These are brilliant examples, and are set for the rising and setting sun.
Looking out to sea in Assynt, waiting for the ferry from the Isles to appear and dock at Ullapool.
The view from the cottage when the sun was out!

Red Kite Cottage. It may look rather dull from the outside, but the inside of this 1930s bugalow was beautifully converted.
If you get the chance, you should visit Castle Leod, which is still a family home and open only a few days during the summer. They have some centuaries old specimen trees & they are particularly proud of two Spanish Chestnut trees.
