Last day in the Highlands

For our last full day up here we decided that we were going to visit Togue and then drive down to Lairg on a search for a kilt for me. I don't know why but for some reason I had his thought that there would be a place in Bettyhill to get a Mackay tartan kilt given that Bettyhill is like Mackay capital, but no the nearest person was in Lairg (according to my hotel owner). But we thought we'd make a day of it and stop at the Weaver's cafe in Tongue before heading down the A836 to Lairg. We get there though and the cafe and shop are closed for the season until March due to renovations. This wasn't mentioned on their website. Lesson I am fast learning here is to call places before driving out there trusting what's on their website. But we were sure to enjoy the drive south from Tongue to Lairg. We stopped at Loch Loyal where there were ruins from an ancient croft and took some photos. It was an absolutely gorgeous drive filled with sunshine and no rain!
