Tigh Beg

I’m just back from a won­der­ful little hol­i­day with Fiona, Richard and Ruthie at Tigh Beg, a croft over­look­ing Loch Feochan. We tramped up hills, lit fires, ate deli­cious food (cour­tesy of Fiona), drank deli­cious wines (cour­tesy of Richard, and Bob) and went on a day trip to Ellenabeich.

My com­pan­ions and hosts, on the Seil side of the Bridge Over the Atlantic:

It is tra­di­tional in Scot­land to install boat cabins on the tops of hills (they’re used as hides when hunt­ing haggis):

Tigh Beg is often sur­rounded by bleat­ing idiots like this one:

Here’s a nice photo of Ruthie:

And here I am, attempt­ing to email copy to The Herald (it only took four attempts):

At Ellen­abe­ich you will find the High­land Arts Exhi­bi­tion (and an excel­lent micro­brew­ery):

Inside the High­land Arts Exhi­bi­tion hangs the work of out­sider poly­math C. John Taylor:

And finally, espe­cially for Guy, a mostly-​rotten sheep carcass:

More pho­tographs are avail­able here, or will be soon. Fans of need­less geowankery can have a look at part of one of our walks on Google Maps (annoy­ingly, I didn’t remem­ber that my new ‘phone has all sorts of fancy GPS fea­tures until halfway through our final trek).
