Listening to Heimatdamisch playing Sweet Child of Mine. this has nothing whatsoever to do with the post, but lets face it, what song isn’t improved by adding accordion, and Gary Gamble singing I love the Highlands.

Whilst in Corona Virus lockdown, I have noticed the number of virtual tours that have been put up online – great museums, stately homes and art galleries. I thought just to brighten things up a bit, I would put up some photos of my tours of the Highlands and Islands, and let you have your own virtual mini tours. Venice eat your heart out…

Fort William

Like first love, the excitement of that first glimpse of somewhere new, never leaves you.
The town centre cable car ride is one of the main tourist attractions. Unfortunately Council cutbacks have meant the ride is a little shorter than originally intended.

BenderLoch

The school crossing warden – Benderloch has gone automated. In Argyll, humans are already being replaced by AI.

Isle of Skye

View of the Cuillin Hills – Monday morning.
View of the Cuillin Hills – Wednesday morning. It would be difficult to ever get tired of the view…

and the changing light in the mountains. View of the Cuillin Hills – Friday morning.
For visitors and locals alike, the council have invested in well used play facilities…
and popular picnic areas.

  1. I won’t ask you how you found The Heimatdamisch but thank you. I wish they’d give the accordion player some. The ever-changing face of the Cuillin Hills made me laugh out loud. Twice!
