Hello & welcome along on this walk! If you're new here - my name is Sarah and every month I head out on a walk with my faithful companion Jack Spaniels, to explore somewhere in this beautiful country of Scotland and hopefully find something to paint back in my studio at home.
Today we are exploring somewhere new on the magical Isle of Skye - which is where I now live!! I recently moved here with my partner Willie, to start a new life in a wee cottage. We have been to Glen Brittle before, but never got any further than the famous Fairy Pools...
Today, we went beyond the Fairy Pools carpark to find out what there was at the far end of the glen and it was so worth it! We start at the stunning Glen Brittle Beach, before climbing up to the lochan at Coire Lagan and ending up at the highest waterfall on the Isle of Skye.
Along the way, I spot some sheep with amazing (and slightly intimidating) curly horns, so I decided to take a photo back to my studio to try and paint one. Watch until the end of the video to see how I got on!
If you enjoyed this video and you haven't already, please do hit subscribe and check out my other videos - including the three special Skye episodes, where we explore some incredible Scottish scenery. Join me again next week as we explore somewhere else in Scotland and look for painting inspiration...
