    After surviving the Helene disaster back in September here in North Carolina I certainly don't want to see flooding anywhere, but this is a breathtakingly beautiful part of Scotland. Love your content

    A few months time and the Lock Arkaig ospreys will be back from their Africa migration. The webcam nest is a must watch as they produce chicks, although last summer was tough to watch.

    Hah! My dad did his WW2 Commando training on (and in) Loch Arkaig (based at Achnacarry). Luckily a little bit of rain didn't put them off! And spare a thought for the poor workman who's holding up that Roadworks sign. Happy New Year to you all! ☔

    From the road sign it can only be about 150mm deep at the sign. But if you keep to the centre of the track on the top of the camber it can be driven through in this state. It is made worse by the wind blowing all the way down the loch and causing the waves to brake over the wall of the track going left to the WW2 commando training estate at Achnacarry.

      @AlexExplorer Thanks, that worked! Good job it wasn't windy, lol - I've stood on that bridge trying to hold a golf brolly so my sister could take a photo without getting drowned (it wasn't raining! ) she managed to get a couple of very abstract pics! The noise is incredible, but what a sight.
