Last day of our Highlands break before heading home to Hamilton, so we explored the far north-east: John O'Groats, Duncansby Stacks, Dunnet Head and Whaligoe. The wind was wild, and spots like these remind you how small we are. 🌊

Walking along Keiss Beach, we felt the full power and magnificence of the North Sea. Waves pounded the shore while the wind lifted crisp spray into the air. Humbling, and quite magnificent. 🌊

Day two in Wick, and we stayed close after yesterday's long drive. Wick Harbour, Old Wick Castle, Castle Sinclair and Keiss Beach, then a soak in the hot tub to finish. Blue skies and sun all day too. 🌞 #Wick #Caithness #Scotland #NorthCoast50

Let's be honest – not every day in Scotland is blue skies and sunshine! ☁️🌧️
But a driech day doesn't have to be wasted. There's plenty to enjoy even when it's grey outside.
Have a read and save it for when you need it 👇

Crows before the Harvest Moon.
