Hi, it's Rachel again. What a day its been!
Yesterday we decided to go to the Falls of Shin about 1 and 1/4 hours from Home Farm. On the way we passed alongside the Cromatry Firth where there were grey seals basking on the rocks. They do show off their acrobatics! After leaving the seals we made our way to Bonar Bridge via Struie Hill which has commanding views over the Kyle of Sutherland. We stopped to take in the scenery and were surrounded by beautiful flowers where we noticed a Peacock butterfly had landed.
As we finally reached Falls of Shin we saw the beautiful waterfallls where the salmon were jumping, heading back to the place where they will spawn. If you feel thristy, theres always the coffee shop which is good value for money. After being filled with coffee and cake we decided to take one last look at the falls before checking out the gift shop.
What a lovely way to end my trip and I will definately be back in October
