Eight Days in Scotland - Day 4 Tobermory, Glenfinnan, and Arisaig

A lazy morning in Tobermory, gave us a chance to take a tour of the Tobermory distillery.  The distillery is not in operation right now while they are replacing some of their equipment, but that meant that I could take pictures, which was a bonus.

After a yummy lunch at Tobermory bakery, we took the ferry from Tobermory to Kilchoan, a fairly remote area south of Mallaig.  Eventually we rejoined the A830 and drove east to Glenfinnan.

The Glenfinnan Viaduct featured in the Harry Potter movies was a pretty popular place.  The past couple days we had felt a bit off the beaten tourist path, but suddenly we had found it.  The path is short and has some great views of the viaduct.  You can also take a train ride from Fort William if you want to actually ride over the viaduct.

After our short walk, we headed to the Arisaig Hotel, which very pleasant.  One thing I particularly enjoyed about our hotel and b&b stays in Scotland, were the always available tea and cookies.  There was a small restaurant at the hotel, but we decided to walk down the street the Old Library Lodge for dinner.

There was just enough light for a walk on the beach after dinner, so we went to Camasdarach Beach for a short walk.  It was really gorgeous, between the white sand, blue water, and dramatic sky.
