We continued our journey north, well north-west.
I marvelled at the mountains that graced our journey. Anyone who states that Scotland is just a drab dreary place clearly has never made the trip here. As we drove, I was glued to the window, mesmerised by what I saw. It was pure eye-candy.
Although we were getting close to Ullapool, we wanted to make one more stop. The Corrieshalloch Gorge
It was so close to our ultimate destination, it would have been a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity. How could we not visit? 😆
We were lucky as it stopped raining as we entered the woods.
Again, these tall majestic trees lined our path towards the gorge. The trees felt like a welcoming committee enticing us to venture further into the woods.
Mother Nature had also rolled out the carpet for us, a beautiful moss-green carpet that lined the forest floor.
After a little meandering, we reached the star of the show, the gorge.
Corrieshalloch is one of the most spectacular gorges of its type in Britain and provides striking evidence of how glacial meltwater can create deep gorges.

I stood gazing at the water gushing down the rocks for quite some time. It was oddly satisfying and therapeutic. Nature is wonderful. What an awesome experience. I was really glad we stopped.
