Just another day in the West Highlands... Yesterday was quite the adventure! 🌄 We set off bright and early to conquer in anticipation of the long drive to Isle of Skye, always a good plan but a road closure, a ferry cancellation and a spot of unexpected weather forced us to improvise and remain dynamic, turning a layby into a makeshift office for our Highland Tourism Partnership meeting. 📞 Despite the challenges, we managed to navigate the twists and turns (literally!), squeezing in a virtual networking lunch and a distillery visit. 🥃 A big shoutout to the everyone for their flexibility and good humor, especially those hardy souls who braved  a 45-degree tea break after a minor bus incident. 🚌❄️ Hope you got on the road again! We're proud to be supporting businesses across the region, even if it means a few unexpected detours. Here's to another day of Highland hospitality and entrepreneurial spirit! 💪 #WestHighlands #ChamberOfCommerce #AdventureAwaits"
