Nice video. The music is as soothing to listen to as the scenery is to look at. Looks like a nice trip!

I think the music to that video should be Matt Munro from the opening sequence of the 'Italian Job', you may have heard of the film....... :roll:

If you like remote places with magnificent views then drive down to Sheena's tea hut in Corran, south of Glenelg along a dead end road. A couple of miles south of Glenelg there is a picnic spot looking over the Sound of Sleat and Loch Hourn, on a good day the view is stunning. Carry on to the end and park before the bridge into Corran and walk to Sheena's tea hut, a couple of hundred yards max. Up until recently you could also have stroked a real live stag that used to attend the tea hut, he was called 'Bin Laden'. Unfortunately he was recently put down due to aggressive behaviour. The wife loved the smooth horns covered in what I think is called 'velvet'

You can have a sandwhich of whatever is in the fridge, we had a choice of cheese and tomato or cheese and tomato! I have to say it was very nice and a grand cup of tea too to go with the stunning view, well worth a visit.
