With weather like this, there was only one place for our weekend - the coast! But we pushed it as far west as is possible on the British mainland. Join us on a beautiful February weekend as we visit the most westerly mainland point, take in the views across to the islands, find a rubbish overnight parking spot and do something we rarely do in February in Scotland :D Enjoy the video...
Filmed on weekend of 25/26 February 2023.

Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

Passing places, although I don't remember traffic lights. I never venture to the extreme west point. I knew it would be the white sands of Mora. There is train station there, Driven the road to Mallaig many times back when it was most single track with passing places.

Ardnamurchan - the drive along via Fort William is very torturous, and the road via the Corran Ferry is very narrow, and runs through some ancient oak forest with incredibly wind sculptured ancient trees (tiny, unlike the majestic great oaks in the less wind swept areas). It's well worth the climb up the lighthouse as the views are incredible.

My word Steve. Those views were out of this world and well worth the dodgy drive. Maybe you should have used the kayak from the lighthouse to avoid that walk to the most westerly point? Your paddle later on was awesome though. BTW, as soon as you said you were going to one of your favourite beaches I said to my wife "it will be the Silver Sands of Morar".

There is a campsite next to the beach which is one of the best in the whole area. Ardnamurchan is one of the least populated parts of the UK and famous for its wildlife. Just beware of the midge in Summer 😉

Fab scenery. If you had turned left off the Ardnamurchan road and headed for Sanna sands you could have parked slightly up the hill from the beach and had a superb view over Rum and Eigg. The Sanna beach is nearly a mile of white sand and far less popular as not easy to get to. Well worth it if you come back. The white gateposts on the road up to the light house are a nightmare in a mobile home sized van. On the way out we got nearly stuck, which then meant the lights changed to allow people towards us. Chaos and bad language from reversing car drivers. If you are in a big van, park and walk!

Good to see you and Alicija on the road again, beautiful scenery as usual from you and a good route via Fort William, I did this trip the other way via the Corran Ferry, on my motorcycle, and nearly got wiped out by an Italian tourist driving towards Strontian, and not stopping at his passing place as he should have, just missed colliding with a tree getting out of his road. Ardnamurchan is beautiful, the wee café is a great wee place to have something to eat, and the views from the lighthouse are stunning, Muck & Eigg and part of Skye were visible on the day we travelled there. Even seen a whale out to the west. So thanks again for giving all your followers yet another scenic treat. All the Best to Alicija and yourself.

Ardnamurchan is fantastic, and before even watching the vid, Sanna is stunning but also so is the collapsed caldera (which helped geologists figure out Earth's history). Have cycled through there, and also driven it for a day trip a few times. For anyone watching, it's worth every moment of the effort. Also, Strontian the village gave it's name to the element Stronium.

Been to the lighthouse a couple of times. Only once onto the outside of walkway at lamp level. Nice clear day meant a cracking view. Nice cakes & coffee in the cafe. The road out to the point from Salan is a challenge two up with camping gear on a touring motorcycle. Main problem. Locals in 4X4s who are not taking prisoners.

I remember when we went to Ardnamurchan, it was a typical scottish summer day, but we went across from Tobermory and took the ferry to Ardnamurchan, it started to pelt it down on this small boat, only could take 2 cars, and we were bouncing on the boat. Heading towards the lighthouse the light was fading and we needed to go back to our cottage just outside Fort William, so yeah, you had a better day for it XD Brilliant to see it again and makes me want to go back sometime soon.

Beautiful, some of these places we passed through in our own travels around Scotland when we still lived in Aberdeen. You pair live the life we wanted and dreamed, only hubby had a full-time job to go to and we didn't have KZbin quite back then to help us along! And now we have no possibility anymore since hubby has been stricken with progressive MS and become paralyzed so now we live the Scottish roadtrip life vicariously from the US via your vlog. Thank you 💞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💞

This must be one of your most challenging videos yet Steve, I remember the loch side narrow roads used to terrify me, you wouldn’t catch me in the driving seat, even though my late husband and I were taught to drive by the Nottinghamshire Constabulary Police driving Instructor….I didn’t have a death wish, anyway you both made it safely to the rather impressive Ardnamurchan Lighthouse with its stunning views, but I’ve never seen such unforgiving terrain that you ventured over, you really are intrepid travellers, the view back to the Lighthouse and those Magnificent Majestic Stags made it all worth while for me, I can’t think of anything more challenging or scary than Kayaking in the sea 🌊 thank you 🙏 both for sharing another extreme challenge with us 🤗

Thanks very much Steve. I've cycled the road along the Ardnamurchan peninsula, though we didn't have time to go to the lighthouse as we had to catch a ferry from Kilchoan. I'd recommend that if you go back so you can see the sights of Mull on the same trip. Geographically Ardnamurchan is the most westerly point of Great Britain, GB being the largest island in the British Isles ( so you don't have to use the word 'mainland'.)

Superb Steve/Alicia, Probably my fav trip of 2021 and one of the top few trips of all time. Surprised you didn’t mention Achnaha the volcano and it’s history. Perhaps add it in summer? Also the ferry port at Kilchoan (Kilhone) is a gem. And the cafe at Saline is superb. 10/10 team 🙏

With the white sand & blue/green water, you could be in the Caribbean. There's many old settlements in the hills where the stone cottages are still standing.

Another wonderful video Steve. Before moving to Moray from Birmingham all my holidays were spent on the west coast and I have stayed on the Ardnamurchan peninsula on a couple of occasions, although I went via the Coran Ferry route. It really is a magnificent part of Scotland as your video clearly shows and I saw more deer here than anywhere else in this amazing country. I have visited the lighthouse and it's absolutely stunning but thank you both for making the trek to the 'real' most easterly point on the British mainland, sadly, a little to tricky for me to attempt at my age! I've also had the pleasure of walking along Silver Sands beach in Morar, it's a real gem of a place, thank you for bringing back some very happy memories.
