(-: As I typed we did our West Coast jaunt in October quite a few years back and well before social media created traffic jams in the Highlands, the weather at the time catching us (West central Scotland inhabitants) by surprise but in a VERY good way as can be seen in the pics I posted in the gallery..Looks like the weather may have potential this weekend for any who might be heading in that direction..?
