We left Fortrose and headed north, we diverted off to the Falls of Shin.
Large car park with plenty of spaces for Motorhome’s, coffee shop and usually a visitor centre open but Covid has currently closed it.
There are a few walks around the woods and one that takes you along the falls, not a great view of the actual water as you walk through, such a shame, but pleasant enough for a wander.
There was a platform for salmon watching, large enough for 6-8 people to watch them jumping up the falls, we watched a couple of small ones but not much activity.
We then headed to Brora Harbour for some lunch, an old fishing hamlet but very pretty and worth a visit.
We then headed on to our stop for the night, Helmsdale, you can park in the harbour if space or the pub allows stopover if you eat in, we were lucky to find a lovely spot overlooking the water and watched a seal 10-15ft in front us pop up every now and again for air, we did the try the fish and chips from the village as they come very highly rated, big portions but Karen said the fish was a little over cooked, the fish cakes however were great and did i mention the portion sizes!
I only ordered singles but for some reason got double of everything.
