Allemansrätten, or the Right of Public Access, is one of the unique joys of Sweden. It allows anyone to roam freely in the countryside, swim and travel by boat in someone else’s waters and pick mushrooms and berries in the forest.

North of the border......

……..up Lairg-in-March way!

I turned fifty this year, St. Patrick's Day to be precise so Sarah, Murphy & I celebrated (or commiserated) with two weeks in the Highlands researching potential places for our retirement staying in a lovely cottage overlooking the Kyle of Sutherland.

We ate like kings & queens. Sarah surpassed herself yet again, we ate (Roe)Venison two different ways, some amazing steaks & lots of Haggis for breakfast!

We had a few trips out too...….

Loch Shin looked fantastic with snow on the mountains in the distance...….



…..& Murphy loved the beach at Achmelvich Bay close to Lochinver.




On the way back to Lochinver we spotted this deer in a small lochan right next to the road.....


…...& then a couple of stags enjoying the sun.


Another day, another loch...….



…...& then on to John O' Groats!
