Scotland-Part Two

Hi all,

One thing me and my dad like to do when we go to Scotland is try out a new walk. So on the second day, we went on one of the Rosehall trails near Lairg. It was a really nice day which, eventually, turned out to be a problem. The nice, warm weather bought out the Cleg flies. These were constantly biting and it was horrible! We were relieved of the flies only when we got to an area of open heathland. Among the heathland were loads of dragonflies. Even saw a golden-ringed dragonfly which was a first for me.

 Here's one of the nasty little Cleg flies on the windscreen of the car.

At the end of the day, we decided to go and get fish and chips in a nearby village. The mountain towering above the village was beautifully backlit so I decided to photograph the gulls flying around the car park in front of the backlit mountain. I even managed to get a shot of a black-headed gull with the duke of Sutherland monument in the background.
