We walked up Ullapool Hill and behind the quarries, and had coffee and cookies by the river - not far from this sign (although I took this photo back in June).
We made our way along the track on the north side of the river and up to a hill-top, where we flushed several red grouse. They were the bird sighting of the day until we approached the A835 just above Morefield, when we encountered this redstart on the edge of a plantation.
The walk was 13km long and more than we'd meant to do as we're still not completely well. The weather was cool and very windy throughout; we lost the path and splashed across a boggy area and then had to climb a couple of rickety gates to get down to the recycling centre road. By the time we got home we were shattered.
