The Walks: Speyside Way, Skye and Arrochar

During the week of the Walkabout Scotland trip, there were four walks. I participated in three, but only had the camera for two. Shots from the walks on Speyside Way and at Arrochar are in this gallery. I have also added photos provided by Carol Marks showing the walk (rainy!) on Skye. Three members of our group decided to brave the elements that day. They were very grateful for the whisky waiting at the end of the trail!
