Durness

I was still feeling adventurous, so I continued on to Durness. Part of this trip reminded me of Alaska.  I am not sure why, maybe the desolation, maybe the unspoiled beauty, but it was fairly spectacular.

You have to go all the way around Lock Eriboll and this takes quite a long time, but then all of a sudden you are in Durness.  There is not much in Durness and you can't help but wonder how these people get the stuff they need - there is no Tesco.

I stopped at Smoo cave - Smoo is Viking for Cave.  I didn't go in because there was a little kid that was spending his Easter screaming at the top of his lungs.  

I did smile as I watched the husband hiking fast and farther away from screaming child and mother - I suspect the car ride was jangling his nerves.
