This is night No.12/2021 living in my caravan. It's our 4th and final night of our visit to Kinlochewe and  the last night on this 7 night jaunt. It has been a great trip despite the mixed weather.

After a morning walk around the NNR, a shower, and some breakfast, we took the short drive to Incheril, a small settlement which is more or less connected to Kinlochewe. There is a good car park here which provides parking mainly for those walking up Slioch. I was using it as parking for a walk up to the Heights of Kinlochewe, a former farming community north of Kinlochewe. Nice views looking back at the Beinn Eighe Massif. An old sheepfold across the river. Some really old wood along the river. A couple of years ago, this glen was torn up for installation of a hydro scheme.
