Walk 45 Farigaig Forest and the Boleskine bonus
Sunday 5th August
On a weekend up from Glasgow to see her parents, Avril suggested we walk in the forest near Inverfarigaig on south Loch Ness-side. We followed the paths through the woods and couldn't help but notice a touch of autumn in the colour of the mosses and leaves and lichens. Out of curiosity we took a turning towards Easter Boleskine - a garden I had visited in February last year - to walk down to the Loch-side. However Dave and Katy enticed us to their house with a cup of tea and a tour of their garden and building works which clearly, and willingly, consumes all their time. In the course of conversation we discovered that they were collecting stories and photographs of the lives and times of the Dores, Foyers, Inverfarigaig area - an area Avril and her family have been part of for many, many years. Hopefully Avril's mum may be able to help put names to some of the faces in the photos they've unearthed so far. So a bonus for both of us. The lochside photo was taken at Lochan Torr an Tuill.
