Traigh Beach, Arisaig, Lochaber, Inverness-shire
If you drive west from Glenfinnan towards the coast you eventually get to Mallaig where you can catch one of a few ferries that run but before you get there you can take a detour onto the more scenic coastal B road near Arisaig. Along that road you come to Traigh beach which was one of the recommendations in the Fotovue book for Scotland. I spent a couple of hours there in the afternoon trying to get some compositions but struggled to get the separation between the various islands as the tide was fairly low. I decided to put the drone up at the end of my visit to see if that would be any better. This was one of the shots I took cropped to avoid the road side toilet block just to the right of the beach! Luckily there were a couple of people in the shot combing the beach for something or another. It's a lovely stretch of coastline with gorgeous white sand and turquoise waters and well worth a visit although locations to park are few and far between.
I moved up the coast after this and got the best sunset of my trip but that's for a later post..
