Bits of Scotland May 2026 week 2

 Carry on, on my trip into week 2

Travelling to Oban for a ferry trip over to the the Isle of Mull for a wildlife trip around the island

The beautiful paddle steamer The Waverly, parked in Oban Harbour on its tour

Some views on a trip towards Stirling, stopping at Loch Lubnaig

A perfect time to catch the stillness and get these beautiful reflections

A walk along the Caledonian canal, 

Neptune’s Staircase.

This amazing feat of engineering raises the canal by 19m (62ft) over a quarter of a mile of continuous masonry and takes around 90 minutes for a boat to travel up or down the locks

A shipwreck that is on the edge of Loch Linnhe

No trip complete with out a photo of a highland cow

The beautiful views from the place we have stayed many times, looking forward to hopefully go back later in the year

Bits of Scotland May 2026 week one

 I have not had time to catch up with the blog recently, suppose that what comes of working full time and wanting to be out and about in any spare minutes i have, visiting places and seeing all the wonderful sights

Had a holiday for two weeks in Scotland in May, a favourite place i love to stay in the area around Onich/Glencoe and Fortwilliam. Saw some family too, which was great

Had some wonderful days, saw wonderful things, hard to pick any favourites as there were so many

Hard choices but a few here, 

Arrival day, Beautiful drive through Glencoe and the evening sunset

The next day saw some amazing reflections

A visit to Loch Shiel

A hike up to the beautiful Steal waterfall, used in some of the Harry Potter films

Glencoe in the evening light

Still has snow on the beautiful Ben Nevis

To a totally different spring time feel at Silver sands

Pretty much the first week, as you can see Scotland is so diverse for landscape and vibes

Hope you enjoy this quick recap
