The couple behind Scotland's most popular walking site. Couldn’t do my project without you 👏

Great to have the opportunity to write about the Project in the ‘I’ newspaper today. 171 beaches and counting! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

Camusdarach - what a rather lovely beach 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The very remote Cul na Croise beach on Ardnamurchan’s ‘Singing Sand’ coast. Hard to reach on foot with the tide in but well worth the falls and scratches! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sunset from Borve beach, West Harris - May 2024.

More from stunning Sanna Bay. They say ‘west is best’ and this is about as far west as it gets on the mainland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s a tough hike in hot conditions to Smirisary Beach but so totally worth it. Early candidate for Beach of the Year. And seals too 🦭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️

Another scorching day in the west Highlands, and a wonderful walk to the Singing Sands (Camas an Lighe) in the north Ardnamurchan peninsula ☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some fabulous small beaches tucked into the dramatic rocky north coast of Ardnamurchan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loved today’s epic walk from Sanna Bay to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse (and back). A superbly waymarked route, amazing scenery, blue skies, 22 degrees and knee-deep in newborn lambs. Unforgettable 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️

Looking across stunning Bay MacNeil beach to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most westerly point of the British mainland (and my next destination) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️

I officially love Muck! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve had worst spots for lunch. Idyllic Gallanach Bay on the beautiful Isle of Muck 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

7am Camusdarach Beach 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An eight-hour drive to begin four days exploring the beaches of Lochaber. Just in time to catch the sunset at one of the Traigh Beaches outside Arisaig. Tomorrow, a Small Isle! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
