Kyle of Durness - Durness
Kyle of Durness

Oh well, I'm happy to see how small is the number of pages here in VT about the places I'm telling about.
This means that I really reached some "off the beaten path" places, and that was what I wanted to do actually.
This wonderful picture (I told it to myself!) is taken along the Kyle of Durness, with low tide, that we had to cross with a small boat to reach the Cape Wrath area. No other access exists.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:The most northwest point in UK archpelago
  • Cons:hard to think at one
  • In a nutshell:if you love to stay far far away, I cannot think to a more isolated point in western Europe
