Cold Plunge

The Fairie Pools on the Isle of Skye are gorgeous. Located in Glen Brittle and a short and not too strenuous walk from the car park these are definitely worth going to visit. To the East the pools and Glen are overlooked by the Cuillin, the largest mountain on the island. We took the stroll up to the pools, although did not go all the way. having found a pool with a reasonably easy scramble down to the water, I decided to go for a swim. The water in the pools is crystal clear, deep and absolutely freezing. It is well worth taking warm clothes with you or perhaps investing in a wet suit like the other people swimming that day.

The Highlander

Taken whilst on a drive around the Scottish Highlands with my family.We came across a filed full of different breeds of cow, which had no fences securing them in. I decided to get out of the car and get a bit closer to some of them, who seemed quite friendly and so I managed to get some photos I was pleased with.

The young ones

Back in 2010 we took a family holiday to the Isle of Skye. A lot of the holiday was spent driving around exploring the island. On several of these trips there would often be livestock on the side of the road, or in the middle of it on some occasions. One day whilst driving we came across a herd of cattle in the road with their calves on the side of the road. Having my camera with me, I wound down the window and took a couple of shots.
