We stayed there just a couple of months ago. Beautiful spot.

It certainly is ....I imagine it's great place to kayak when it's warmer (BUT busier )

The other half found it after watching Mac and Morag on YouTube

I've a funny feeling we will be here for the rest of the week now ;-)

Its worth the walk along the beach to the little chapel beyond cardoness, set back above the beach in the trees.

I like D n G but my misses didn’t like it. We used to go to the Raiders road and park on the forest drive to watch the Persied meteors.

First time I visited on the way to Ardnamurchan weekend of Princess Diana's death

Second time (Loch Doon) was a few years back with a bunch of old landrovers on way to Islay ...

Was a bit underwhelmed on both occasions ...

This time has been fab though ...all sites with no wilding ...
Been so much fun and lots of friendly folks ...

Sites like that are brilliant - so much friendlier than the regimented places where all you get to view is straight lines of caravans and motorhomes like a housing estate and officious wardens telling you you haven't parked straight enough.

Those and pub stops are my preference these days.

Pleasant wander along the beach with the dogs to Chapel Bay at Cardoness ...

Glorious day and only 2 other folks in the beach .

It's really great to see so many shells on a beach, Tim

Here in the North East there used to be absolutely loads on the Northumberland beaches when I was a kid, sadly no more.
Speaks volumes about the state of our poor old eco systems these days

Not sure my mornings fun with the metal detector on the beach is going to cover the costs of the holiday ...

At least I've removed a few sharp objects in the process though .
