📌 Portskerra, Highland
★★
This short and straightforward stroll traces the grassy coastline north from the Drownings Memorial at Portskerra, which remembers 26 local fisherman who lost their lives at sea in the 19th and 20th centuries. The outward leg ends at a second port – this time surrounded by skerries (Portskerra is well named) – before returning by the same route.
