SPOT THE SEAL! 🤔🦭

This curious little fella took us a minute to find when receiving photographs after reports of a seal stuck in a rock pool. Can you see him?

We regularly ask for photographs of animals so we can assess them, and sometimes they can be difficult to find if they are in amongst rocks; their coats provide excellent camouflage on rocky beaches. Though when you see this one he's quite obvious! 😂 Maybe it's just our eyes deteriorating 🤔😂

Thankfully he was OK and got out by himself 🙏

Pod all ready for our next guests🌼🌞

A cosy and spacious apartment, and luxury pod, both with breathtaking views to Skye and the Western Isles in the small crofting community of Aultgrishan, Gairloch, on the spectacular Wester Ross coast.

"The Mill at Strath" by Arthur Perigal
19th-century artist Arthur Perigal painted the watermill at Strath, Gairloch in 1870. There had been a mill in the village since 1638, although the building shown here probably dates to the late 1700s.

In Strath, the mill channel ran downhill, passing under the main road at the bottom of what is now Mihol Road, to the water wheel. The Mill produced meal or flour from corn, peas or barley. There would've also been a kiln, heated by a fireplace below.

The 'Miller' lived in a house opposite the Mill, where the Millcroft Hotel now stands. The last Miller to work here was John Forbes who worked from 1877 and ran the mill until its closure in 1922. The Forbes family also operated the mill at Aultbea. The Mill at Strath was a great place for villagers to gather in the evening for a story or a song!

Remember to come back next week for our next post! 💐🖼💡
