One of my favourites was GC13G67 Sawney Bean - Scottish Cannibal.

Sounds very much like the trip we made in August - you'll love it!

 

I'd recommend:

 

For Whom the Bell Tolls - a beautiful spot near Cromarty

 

River Ness - Greig Street Foot Bridge - a nice cache and dash if you're walking around Inverness

 

Sutherlands Grove

 

west coast kippers - these two are in a lovely woodland park with a stunning waterfall

 

Rocky views - a great coastal cache

 

Dunnet Head (Caithness) - has to be done, the most Northerly point of Mainland Britain

 

West is Best (Ardnamurchan Point) - and the most Westerly point!

 

Etive View

 

Fungi Tree - these two are in what I considered the most beautiful glen near Fort William - mind the midges near the Fungi Tree though!!

Sutherlands Grove

west coast kippers - these two are in a lovely woodland park with a stunning waterfall -Yes

 

West is Best (Ardnamurchan Point) - and the most Westerly point! -On the mainland -Yes

 

Etive View - Might as well do 70 Wild Miles Glencoe Cache while in the area!

 

If you do West is Best, look out for Lochan Rocky Overhang with a Silver Twist If it's still there it is a nice area. (And makes a nice rest before after the loooong drive to West is Best!)

I believe my West Is Best cache is back to A1 condition thanks to some help. If you get a chance, get over to Skye and do bellewether's excellent 'Find Him a Wife' cache. I've a couple of caches in the area, including The Wicker Man - A missing child is always trouble near the pretty village of Plockton and Highlander's Home (Eilean Donan Castle). Both seem popular. I also have The road to Applecross near by, which is a bit alpine but gives amazing views on a clear day. Have a look at my Film Locations bookmark list (link below) if you're into those, as there are lots in the area you're travelling. Tourist advice: John o'Groats is a depressing spot, but the caches in the area are worth a look. GC13R6F, GCBC2A and GCJ2YJ especially. My west-coast favourites include GCPNZJ and GCRXF2 (a quick boat ride and a walk from Skye) - Have a great trip!
