So our holiday in the Western Highlands was over. We had arranged to spend an extra day in Scotland rather than just driving back to Inverness airport and wanted spend that time revisiting some of our old haunts in the Central Highlands. After packing up and leaving Dornie behind us, we made our way towards Kingussie and Feshiebridge just to the south of Aviemore stopping at Darwin's Rest on the way.

May not look like much from the outside but this little cafe
serves fantastic coffee and cakes. |
We didn't have too much time in the central Highlands but I was fortunate enough to catch up with a couple of Crested Tits and a short walk around Loch an Eilein produced more Scotch Argus and a single Dark Green Fritillary.

Not a bad way to finish an excellent holiday. I'll definitely be returning to the west coast again soon.
