Day 41 Glen Nevis to Mallaig 50mls

More Pics from Nevis Waterfall
Glenfinnan Monument
Set off for Mallaig, stopped to view the Glenfinnan monument where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the Scottish flag at the start of the Jacobite uprising. Then passed the spot where he sailed away after defeat.
Mallaig seems nothing more than a fishing and ferry port so only had a drive round which took 2 minutes. Camped at Silversands, Traigh beach, about 6 miles from Mallaig. This is a lovely place, very peaceful with little white sandy beaches between rocky outcrops. The day was very still and calm which make it seem a bit unreal in a way. Taz went swimming in the sea, well a few strokes of doggy paddle, after getting a bit mucky when we hiked across the moor.
