An alternative route
In many ways Cape Wrath isn't really the finish line for anyone walking there - arriving at the most North-Westerly tip of Britain, suddenly you'll realise you have to get home, which could take a couple of days unless you're a logistical genius.
Regardless, instead of walking the road back to the ferry or taking the minibus, one could do this:
The startpoint is Strathchailleach bothy, and after reaching the cape, the hills climbed are Sgribhis-Bheinn (371m), Fashven (460m) and Ben Akie (288m), totalling 20 miles and 1300m of ascent - a long way but not that much ascent really - we'll see if I do this come end of August...

Start Line
Took this picture yesterday from the Wallace Monument in Stirling - the distant hills mark the Highland Boundary Fault and my start point is somewhere in the middle of the photo - lets hope the weather stays like that for the whole of August!
