Scotland bits

 Great Northern Diver
Plenty of these on the lochs but they remained distant

 Plenty of red deer on the tops, an early morning drive found a herd grazing the local campsite

 Eiders

 Common Seals



And then on the motorway on the way home we came across this stunning sculpture. Just managed to grab the camera but as we got past it, we realised there were two ! 
Would loved to have stopped and admired them.

Pine Martin



















What a little stunner and the best night of our holiday - glad we saved it till last! On our way home we did a little detour for a guaranteed pine martin B & B. We were not disappointed as within an hour of us arriving, this lady was at the door for her supper ! She visited many times during the evening to stock up on food as she is feeding 2 kittens. The house has 6 pine martins that call for food and we were so lucky to see 2 of them. A perfect evening with some excellent company and the most comfortable bed ever !
