I have said it before, and I will say it again - this time of year is one of the most beautiful times to visit Helmsdale - and Scotland in general 🍂
The low sun, the sunrises, the sunsets, the rainbows (due to more rain 😅), the low clouds, the oranges, the peace, and the quiet 🤫
Personally it is my favourite 🧡🦞

One for the birders 🦅
We have a local Merlin - not the Wizard kind 🧙‍♂️
Merlins are the smallest birds of prey in the UK, and are pretty elusive little birds, and somewhat rare.
You may see her being chased by the crows!
I was so lucky she perched on a fence post in the garden, photo ready 📸
Just another unexpected beautiful piece of nature 🦞

Whether rain or shine, I am a lover of big bold skies 🌦 and Northern Scotland always delivers! You can sit for hours and watch the clouds/sun/rain/snow - these were all taken over just a couple of days 💙🦞

Some beautiful pictures from our wonderful guest last week, Yvonne 💙 I love seeing visitors photos!

PS - Spot the dog in the 1st photo.. it took me a minute 🐶🦞

I will never tire of watching the weather roll in 🌧☀️ - at least you know in advance if it isn't already raining, it will be soon 😅🦞

Not the best pictures - but as I 'calmly' shouted at my husband to stop the car, I managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of a White Tailed Eagle being chased by an Osprey on our way up the A897 towards Melvich 🦅
We were looking for stags 🦌, but always worth keeping your eyes on the sky 👀
Lots of wildlife to see in the surrounding areas, and sometimes from the doorstep 🦞

Are you brave enough? 🥶
If you fancy a wee absolutely baltic refresh, it is on the doorstep 😅. Nothing more exhilarating than a quick dip in the North Sea 🌊🦞

Looks like filming for BBC's the Traitors is underway at Loch Brora 👀 - accompanied by some very handsome spectators 🤎
Would you rather be a Faithful or a Traitor? 😏🦞

A day at the Helmsdale Highland Games.. also known as the friendly games 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. It is a whole day and evening event that takes place every year in Helmsdale, and this year I have been lucky enough to go 😁. Fantastic day out for everyone 🍻🦞
