Spean Bridge: Not far from the Commando Monument you will find the delightful small town of Spean Bridge, here you can visit SPEAN BRIDGE MILL who have a vast selection of Scottish gifts as well as The Spirit of Scotland Whisky Shop, a must for any one who enjoys a wee dram, which are available for you to sample, The mill also has a fascinating area showing the weaving of tartan as well as clan certificates that show your clan history and tartan.

Loch Linne in all its glory. after taking a stroll along the shore we halted at the ferry landing for coffee, and it was then we realised we had made our biggest blunder in not coming here earlier, (this was our last day in Scotland) For sometime we had deliberated on not being able to visit Tobomory, we had deemed it to far, and here we were sitting and sipping coffee looking at a sign that advertises trips to.............Tobermory, I guess there's always next time, and there will be a next time.
