Hi all ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Let me show you today a walk I did when I still lived in Scotland ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ not that long ago ๐Ÿ˜‰ asโ€ฆ I still have many things to show and tell you from those short but wonderful 4 months there ๐Ÿ˜Ž

With this post Iโ€™m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

โ€ผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!โ€ฆ the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last Wednesdaywalk post here:
โ€œWednesday Walk at the Acushnet Sawmillโ€
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts ๐Ÿ˜ come join us!

Todayโ€™s selection will be of 22 photographs.
Date: 26 February 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿค“
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my adventures on this #walk, to ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes and the stunning #scenery, #forest, #lake, #paths and #wooden #sculptures. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Letโ€™s start our walk from today ๐Ÿ˜Š are you coming along?
I promise this will be a short amble this time ๐Ÿ˜Ž
This woodland and the walk through it is located in Lairg on the west coast of Scotland and there is a Little Loch (lake) too with its large dam.
At the entrance of the #woodland we see this sign:

Screenshot of the Location on Google maps, see the yellow star โญ๏ธ :

Zooming out a bit for you to see moreโ€ฆ

The first thing we notice when we stand at the sign is there are a few wooden sculptures around. How wonderful ๐Ÿ˜Ž

A seating area with again more wooden sculptures.
I like it what a nice surprise and I suspect we will see many more. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Shall we have a look around and try to find them all ๐Ÿค“

Just looking up we see:
More wooden sculptures ๐Ÿ˜Ž

So cuteโ€ฆ

Butโ€ฆ we came here to walk a bit, so letโ€™s walk up the hill.

We see Bambi along the path.

Of course the mother isnโ€™t far ๐Ÿ˜‰

Walking higher up we start to see also a bit from the view.
Hereโ€ฆ it was still #winter so the trees are bare. The sky was blue and no clouds to be seen.
The sun was shining in the wrong spots, so it was difficult to get good captures of the wooden sculptures. โ˜€๏ธ but I try my best ๐Ÿค“

We find benches along the path we walk. Looking out towards the Loch ๐Ÿ˜Š

Such cute animals are portrayed in the #artworks / sculptures.

As we walk further we even see a badger ๐Ÿฆก

At the first look out, just above the war memorial, we have a stunning view across the Little Loch Shin.
In the far distance you see the dam.

As we walk further we come across this sculpture.

The fox ๐ŸฆŠ is beautifully carved. I like #art and any form of it.

After this sculpture the path goes quickly down again and we reach the street.
We decide to walk along the Little Loch towards the left a little as I did see something in the distance I wanted to check out.

Have a look at this little house on this little island.

Even a tree grows along it and some birds are resting. On Google maps it is called โ€The Wee Hooseโ€ (as you can see in the first screenshot above)

We walk along to the right of the Loch now, until we stop at a restaurant for some lunch. As from all that walking uphill we get thirsty and hungry ๐Ÿ˜Š

The restaurant has a lake frontage and we walk out onto the garden and pier.

Our view :

A little boat ๐Ÿ›ถ

There are even some chairs so you can enjoy the view and the nice sun. Although sunny, it is still pretty cold this day. Believe me.

Looking towards that little house on the island in the distance and the hill on the left we walked up.

The water is calm, just a few ripples we made when we stepped onto the pierโ€ฆ

โ€ฆand here I say letโ€™s get some lunch and finish todayโ€™s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Even some #artworks once in a while will come byโ€ ๐ŸŽจ
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

love the wood carvings , reminds a bit of the walking tracks we have here with garden gnomes.
That house on the island could be a secret entrance to a muclear shelter ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks, they were pretty cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Hahahaha who knows maybe it is a secret entrance ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ it was pretty small thoughโ€ฆ maybe it has a button you press and the entire house goes open on hinges and one can step inโ€ฆ onto some steps going downโ€ฆ

It was lovely to see. Even in such a small village they had a walk like this. We stumbled by accident on it.
So I had to exploreโ€ฆ

Those are really cute sculptures. I guess those animals live in this woodland. I really enjoyed the walk with those cuties. And how interesting that wee house. I wonder if someone is inside. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ This is an amazing place and thank you for taking us here. Enjoy the rest of the weekdays.

I think those animals are indeed around. I saw a few of them in the forests while living up there.
That little house was really little, like just a meter and a half high little. Perfect for the birds.
Happy you came along with me.
Enjoy yours too โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒบ

Wait... so loch means lake? Or I got it wrong? It would have a lot of sense... :)
Anyways, those wooden sculptures are amazing... I like the lake and the photo with a boat is just perfect!

Cool walk with these wood sculpture. But the little house in the middle of the loch is really cool, it must be quite something to spend a night there.
Enjoy your day.

What a beautiful place for a walk. I love all the details with the wood carvings ๐Ÿ˜
And the Wee Hoose looks lovely in the middle of the loch, although it must be a bit overwhelming to get stuck there in the middle of the lake, hehe

I hope all goes well in your new place ๐Ÿค—.

Thank you so much @coquicoin ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š loved this walk and discovering all the sculptures. It was nice.
Happy you came along.
The little house, a person doesnโ€™t fit in it. Itโ€™s more for the birds ๐Ÿฆข itโ€™s a fun feature on this lake.
I just posted about crossing the border to get to my destination. Finally ๐Ÿ˜‰ almost caught up, just not on the last crazy adventures.
Have a wonderful Friday โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป
