A Holiday at Ockle

From Paul Howes

I have been a visitor to this idyllic part of Scotland for about seven years staying at Sue Cameron's cottages at Ockle (website here). This picture shows the Ockle Burn just below the bridge.

We did a walk to Beinn Bhreac last time. From Ockle SE to ruin at Grid NM 587672, then NE past Lochan Clach na Boiteig up to the top, with fantastic views of Cuillins, Rhum, Eigg, and Moidart, then back north to join the Gortenfern path at Grid NM 576705.

This picture and the one above were taken from Ockle looking north towards the Isle of Muck.

I'm still trying to get a close up shot of sea and/or golden eagle, not easy. The one above is a sea eagle.
We're back up from southern softie land in September - we can't wait.
