Hi all 👋🏻
Today I want to share with you all a walk around the Leitir Easaidh path, located at the Lakes: #Loch Leitir Easaidh and Loch nah-Innse Fraoich what is in the #HIGHLANDS of #SCOTLAND 🏴 / UK 🇬🇧
I even saw some #deer at the end of the walk 🦌🦌😎 so don’t miss seeing them 😉
This is part of our #explorations out, to #discover new areas, since we live in the highlands from the end of January this year until we move again soon. 😊
With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last Wednesdaywalk post.
It will tell you also the rules of joining in at the Wednesday walk posts 😁
Today’s selection will be of 45 photographs. Plus 1 bonus 😉
Date: 19 March 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes and the stunning #scenery. 😊
Screenshot of the Location on Google maps, see the yellow star ⭐️ :
Zooming out a bit for you… again a screenshot from Google maps.
The views driving towards this walking path:
If you remember my post from last week… this whole area was covered in thick snow ❄️ and still only a few days before this photo. If you missed that post, have a look Here: Ardvreck Castle ruins and the drive to it in the snow ❄️
It’s the photo before we reached the village of #Elphin. Same location…
What a difference 😳 Right?
…but Let’s start our WALK now:
Are you coming along? 😉😊
At the start we see this route map from the Leitir Easaidh Path in red.
It’s an easy walk you can even go on with a #wheelchair ♿️ for the experienced walker there are a few other parts you can easily add to make the walk longer, more interesting and #challenging. 😎
We enter the gate and start following the path.
As you can see the path is nice, even and wide to walk on.
Slight elevations, but really easy for all abilities.
After a little while we see the first lake.
It has a hut, shelter and a pier.
Closer look at the shelter, look at how it was built. The plants and other vegetation on its roof and the rain water barrel. Very cool…
Inside a bench to rest. 🙂
Let’s walk onto the pier… look at the views 😎
The rowboat is full of water after this #winter #season ❄️
The view over the loch.
Looking back at the hut and its surroundings. 😊
It even has wind power and solar power. It’s a toilet and underneath tools for maintenance probably. The little door was closed with a screwdriver. So not locked.
Close up of the plants on the roof of the shelter.
A little bonus photo 😉 I don’t have many of me taking photos 📸📸 but somebody sneaks one in when I don’t notice, once in a while. Hahaha 🤣

Let’s walk further… are you coming? Yes I know it’s such a pretty spot and we could be there for a while to just look, BE and watch the world go by, but more to come and see… so let’s explore a bit more 😎
Looking at the mountains in the distance… still covered with some snow ❄️
Suddenly it starts to rain… you can see it in the water. Luckily it isn’t heavy and we manage well with our hats. So we continue our walk.
Views along the path…
Walking further and further the scenery changes a bit. Do you see it?
We reach a little bridge… the view on it to the left.
Looking back, you see the bridge has 2 parts.
After we crossed it, looking back. The #colours are so #dark and #deep. Beautiful 🥰
I focus on the plants, mosses and other vegetation next to us. You find this everywhere around here and in the peat bogs. (wetlands)
As the light rain stops… we suddenly see the water surface. It’s like a mirror now. 🤓
We go closer to capture this.
We follow the path further and see the mountains again in the distance.
A sign that shows us the way to a view point higher up. Yes, for sure we will have a look… 😊
While following we reach another lake. With a hut, shelter, pier and rowboat… this time also a picnic table.
Let’s have a closer look 😎 the water surface is so calm now.
The hut has a little moon 🌙 on it. Do you see it?
This little boat has also some water in it, but not as much as the other one from before. The bucket in it made me laugh 😂 hahaha imagine trying to empty all the water and it keeps coming in while you are on the lake… na… let’s not do that today hahaha 🤣
We are taking in the views at this spot.
My favourite photo of this day… look at the scenery, the #reflections of everything in the water… the snow on the mountains in the distance. It’s beautiful and it makes me happy to share it with you on our walk together 🥰
One more look… and we walk further 😊
Following the path…
Passing by the lakes…
Another capture of vegetation/the ferns… around us.
We reached the viewpoint. A wheelchair can’t get up here.
Have a look around from above.
Stunning scenery. Even with a cloudy day…
There are a few big rocks one can sit and rest on. Or just take in the views 🤓
Next to me I notice these 2 trees 🌳 do you see how intertwined they are? So cute…
Walking back down… we go now back to the car park.
I capture this pine cone in the tree we walk by.
When we reached the car park… I look… and see not that far the following scenery. 😁🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
Look at this majestic animals, in the wild here in the highlands… wow.
We try not to disturb them, but they noticed. And quickly after this capture they ran away 🦌🦌🦌🦌 all of them.
One day I will get some good captures of these wild deer 🦌 one day… 😉 hopefully I will have my big camera with me then. 📸
And here I say “that’s all for today’s post my friends we are back at the car park and say goodbye, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻 Even some #artworks once in a while will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.
