A few weeks ago I wrote about the delights of walking in sunnier climes at this time of the year. On the evidence of my recent week in the far north, Scotland can be added to the list.

I was staying at Kinlochbervie, just a few miles south of Cape Wrath. It's a great area for walking, with Foinaven, Arkle and Ben Stack on your doorstep. For me the particular attraction of this area is the constant presence of the sea, with sea lochs penetrating far inland.
There are excellent coastal walks, islands to visit and several good bike trips, including the bumpy track to Cape Wrath.
This area is worth visiting at any time, but you usually get more than your share of wind and rain. So in April, with record rainfall for most of the country and widespread flood warnings, the unbroken sunshine for a week was remarkable.
