Achmore and Lochalsh: two short walks
On our last day in Dornie last summer we visited the castle in the morning, which I’ve already written about, and did two short walks in the afternoon. The first, the Achmore Circular, took us from the small village of Achmore across some very wet fields to the shores of Loch Carron. I presume the randomly placed bath was for livestock to drink from – or had it just been abandoned?
Our (driving) route to our next walk took us past the Croft Café in Duirinish and we couldn’t resist stopping. Cake! We didn’t choose an outside table, however attractive they looked, because the midges were out – I think this was the only place we were bothered by them all summer.
Our final stop was the Lochalsh Woodland Walk which also took us through the gardens of Lochalsh House. This was a very pretty walk, out through the woods and back along the shore.
We then went back to our apartment for our last evening in Dornie – but we weren’t going straight home the next day. We had two nights in Ballachulish to look forward to.

Really stunning photographs! Plus, cake is always good…

Thank you very much! Of course I don’t mind, I’m pleased you thought of me, though whether I find time given how far behind I am is another matter …

Is it common there to use “circular” as a noun to mean ‘a circular route’?

That made me think! That was the title our guidebook gave to the route and it didn’t strike me as odd, so I suppose it must be common. Thinking further, a bus can also be a Circular if it follows a circular route.

Over here, the only sense we have for “circular” as a noun is ‘a printed advertisement, directive, or notice intended for mass distribution.’

Yes, we have that too. Interesting!
