NC500 4 Ullapool to Applecross
Wildlife encounters can be few and far between, but sometimes you just stumble upon them and it really makes your day. Especially when it’s in a car park at the side of a road in one of the most remote parts of Britain. That’s where we met Callum. Although we didn’t know he was Callum at all.

Loch Maree Islands

Isolated in one of Scotland’s largest lochs, the islands have been able to grow untouched by human interference. Hence they are very special and are examples of native woodland that is difficult to find elsewhere. Access is limited when birds are breeding. Kayak to the islands.
