5 October 2011. Henry had his walk and ride on the beach at Gairloch before we drove on to Ullapool.
Lunch was in The Gallery Cafe above a mountain gear shop. The picture below was taken in March of this year, on our last visit. Rob had the cooked veggie breakfast, I had baked potato, cheese and beans. The food was good, but the waitress was a bit miserable.
The photo below (also taken in March) shows the harbour at Ullapool on rather a grey day. We had a walk round the town and found a lovely bookshop with lively cafe attached, and rather wished we had eaten there.
We stopped off at Corrieshalloch Gorge on the way back. It was a fairly steep run down to the wobbly suspension bridge, and viewing platform, but we managed it with Henry in his buggy. The views were a bit terrifying. The gorge was deep, with steep sides and rushing waterfalls of dark, peaty water - quite spectacular.
A nice man at a vending stall in the layby gave Henry a couple of sausages; one for now and one for his breakfast. He gulped one down in two bites and seemed very keen on having the second one straight away, so we had to hide it.

The weather was sunshine and showers - some rather heavy - luckily while we were driving, rather than walking. The proprietor told us there was snow due tomorrow, so we decided to head home a couple of days early. The photo above shows the view from the front of the hotel.

Such incredibly diverse landscapes!! I'm not much for heights but it is spectacular! Can't say the same for that waitress, though...Your Henry is so adorable...it's nice that he still gets to share these outings with you both! Love the boats and water!

Hello Cait :) I must admit that I'm not very keen on heights either, especially while standing on a bridge that moves with every step. What's worse is that I read that the bridge has just had temporary repairs on it and will be close in January for 'proper' repairs =:-O
