The latest news from the sheep on the street

The latest bleats from the sheep on the street...

Blogs (web logs) and blogspots provide a unique insight into Highland life and nature in Lochaber and The West Highlands.

We have put together a collection of Lochaber blogs to highlight the traditions, culture and wildlife in the various regions, including the West Coast Islands.

We show entries from the last 100 days, organised by region, topic and blog.  The titles and text snippets give a taste of each entry with direct links to the main blog entry on the host website.  We hope you will find time to explore the full articles and further information on the host blog sites.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any suggestions for blogs you would like to see here.

Wild About Lochaber

  • The sand masons of Camusdarach (Friday, March 21, 2014 - 10:02)
      A walk along the beaches at Camusdarach just north of Arisaig off the B8008 rarely disappoints in terms of wildlife.  Great northern divers are regularly seen just out to sea together with a good range of other coastal birds.  The dunes behind the beach provide a great habitat for a range of...

  • Spring in Loch Ailort (Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 20:21)

    Another trip we are running this summer is a 7 day expedition to the Small Isles - Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna. This is a fantastic area for wildlife - Rum is where White Tailed Eagles were first re introduced. The Small Isles are also home to a huge range of marine life in the summer months -...

  • Loch Linnhe Otters (Friday, January 31, 2014 - 17:36)
    It always surprises me how much more you see when you head out on your own and keep your eyes open for wildlife. Last Monday I went for a little paddle on Loch Linnhe, getting on the water opposite Eilean Shuna and paddling down to Appin rocks and back. Loch Linnhe is a stunning place to paddle and...
  • Rainbows over the Skerries (Monday, January 20, 2014 - 20:20)
    Its always good to steal a few hours out on the water in winter. It's so easy not too bother when it's cold and windy but it's always worth it. This afternoon I put my Rockpool Alaw on the roof and headed down to the Skerries.It was looking like there may be quite a good sunset developing in...
  • A close encounter with a Sea Eagle (Monday, January 13, 2014 - 21:04)
    I drove down to Ardtoe today to have a little explore around Kentra bay. This is a top little spot for sea kayaking but I don't come here very often due to the winding single track roads that lead here.It is definitely worth the drive though as the woods and coastline around the bay are very wild...
  • Trip report: Explore Arisaig weekend trip (Sunday, January 12, 2014 - 18:22)
    Dave and Rachel had booked onto a weekend trip, our Explore Arisaig trip. The forecast was looking pretty good for October and on meeting up on the Saturday morning we discussed the many options for day trips in the local area. We settled on a circumnavigation of Eilean Shona, setting off from...
  • Camusdarach beach in between showers (Friday, January 10, 2014 - 20:14)
    We took a little cycle down to Camusdarach beach yesterday to make the most of the brief window of sunshine we could see developing. It seems like it's been non stop gales and rain this winter so it was a great change to get out into the sunshine, even if it only lasted for an hour!
