 Looks like a great tour you're doing :).

 I've not got further north than Fort William/Ben Nevis, but I'd love to get right around Scotland eventually.

I'm liking this pictorial report. Some roads I recognise but a lot I've never done. Inspiring me to get out there more.

That campsite with views across the loch looks fab!!  Make sure you tie down those guys tonight, the forecast is for gale force winds, maybe a B&B for you tonight, stay safe  :)
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
